Happy 36th Anniversary of Your First Natal Day
In
A River
Of Time
Our days may pass,
Flowing – at times – through
The Looking Glass…
Other realities ebb and flow,
As on through the eddying years we go.
Sudden epiphanies
Grab attention…
Events that later we may not mention.
Some are leaden and some are gold,
Things that make us put
Time on hold…
Life-changing,
Triggering circumspection…
On occasion,
Causing a course correction.
Victories, dead ends, disasters…more!
Sometimes they toss us
On rocky shores…
‘Til a rising Tide arrives to lift
Our lives…
Back into the current’s drift.
And, what shall we base
Our Joy upon,
As Time and Tide convey us on?
Someone to love…
And good work to do…
A noble purpose to see us through:
An itch in the soul…
A “bee in the bonnet”
That makes us proud, looking back upon it!
Here, then…
Is my Birthday Wish for you…
That your work be beautiful, rich and true…
That your “Aha” moments
Be purest gold…
And that, when you reach out,
There’s a hand to hold.
(And, may there also be cake!)
Happy Birthday to My Darling K.M.
Love, Nana
XOXO
