Birthdays come and go
all in the blink of a eye
years passed minds aged
along with bodies
and yet
memories afore refreshed of now
a time to pause to reflect
to accept realise
that though perhaps
slightly more seasoned
we are but so much wiser
an have touched the skies
and flown as if birds
nay a eagle on the wing
we have crashed into oceans
drowned and wept in despair
but always surfaced
to face another day
people changed left and joined
and left us so much more
richer stronger
in the promise of a better moment
soon to come as we turn older
wisdom an fortitude
a constant reminder
of the love we have
within us all
given freely regardless
of age looks lines
devotion
wrapped up in a silk bow
with as many a candles
as needed required to mark
the day you came to be
all and everything
to those who love you so
always
an
forever
Happy Birthday
