What would I do, wonderful friend
to satisfy the need in my heart to give you the world you deserve?
In your eyes I see a swirling of emotion
all mixed with a gentle raining of kind spirit.
In your heart I notice places just waiting to welcome your humankind
aching for them to sit a while,
offering them a place to be themselves.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
For a poet and man alike I would offer peace.
Dream, Sweet Sir Sven
then dip your pen in a rainbow of happiness.
May that happiness be an infinite well for you to draw from.
If your heart's desire should ever stare you in the face
then go after it, recklessly if you must
for it is happiness your unselfish spirit needs.
And may you know that while I recognize your greatness
I also respect the weaknesses.
Acceptance is the greater gift I offer this day.
The day a poet and friend was born.
Happy birthday Sweet Sven Pen.
From someone who will never loose you.

If anyone else cares to add a poem to this thread, then you are welcome to do so. Sorry this is so late in the evening, but we, his friends are in his heart regardless I am sure.

Happy birthday Sven and thank you for all of your comments (even on some of my junker stuff) they were greatly appreciated. Have a wonderful day. Nice poem Temptress.

Throw your heart out in front of you
And run out to catch it.
