Deena’s birthday with hip pain arthritis
not complaining but sallow faced
Marsi arranged to surprise her
she and Hal didn't tell they’d fly in
Marsi at the library to greet her
Deena in happy tears
dinner at MT’s Local Kitchen
our table six around
Deena beside Marsi and Hal
and on her other side
Deena next to Jill and Ted
Marsi’s surprise curved Deena’s nadir
pain joy love family friends.
