A Birthday Wish
A Birthday Wish
...for my two oldest friends.
I knew you then,
but I know you both
much better now
that we have grown up
and become our selves.
We tumbled through
our formative years
and into a busy mid-life
still learning the meaning
of family and friendship.
None of us could imagine
the world as it is unfolding today,
and thus I humbly pray
we will not fear tomorrow.
So happy birthday
with peace,
with love,
with the gentle hope
our souls will always welcome
tomorrow!
I remember when the candle shop burned down.
Everyone stood around singing 'Happy Birthday.'
