Happy Birthday E

today here I stand
with only one thing
to give you
it is the best I haveā€¦
my words

Happy Birthday

On The Edge Of A Shadow

I stand
on the edge
of a shadow
yet, it encompasses me
I am part of something
much bigger than I am
a perfect trace drawn
from where light is
the other side of darkness
these are lines much tighter
that are pulled from a heart
a bonding for all time
reached when all else
was shorn and broken
to be recognize as a part
and from everywhere I stand
inseparable you are there
cast as part of me

A gift of your own words...lovely indeed.
Hugs~

To have lived the dream of a love so true...
   is to have seen a glimpse of heaven.

Happy Day


"One should ask for what
one wants," it is often said
but there is no asking for this

This is a day for the giving
of births, and of gifts
unsolicited

Thank you for your words
They are fine and cherished gifts
for a day shared

Each stroke of your pen
adds depth to
a waiting canvas

Happy Birthday to you too, H!
