tenses correctly and quickly. As you review the tenses, remember that: 1. Grammar rules don’t tell
you what to say. They tell you how to say something 2. Certain verbs can’t be used
in certain tenses. There are 12 tenses in English, here is a short review: A. SIMPLE PRESENT It is used in the following situations: a) Makes factual statements. · Roberto is from Colombia · Colombia produces good

So many distinguished have been buried
leaving no signs for others
inhumed bodies are galore
deeply forgotten, no bone is hold
be benevolent to people, save your time
behold no one will stay alive
a person who loves, who cares,
who sees a person's need and fills it,
who encourages and lifts people up,
who spends energy on others
rather than herself,
someone who touches each life she enters,
and makes a difference in the world,
because ripples of kindness flow outward
as each person you have touched, touches others.
Your birthday deserves to be a national holiday,
because you are a special treasure
for all that you've done.
May the love you have shown to others
return to you, multiplied.
I wish you the happiest of birthdays,
and many, many more,
so that others have time to appreciate you
as much as I do.
