Flotsam My diary shows naught of me Just flotsam floating on the sea A patch upon the ocean blue A thatch that shows, but nothing new It washes in the tide of things A drift of dross that tolls no rings A readjustment in an age A speck of sand within a gauge A poultry moment of a change Shifting into rearrange And I am roaring out in rhyme This pendulum of rocket time. I’d leave me notice if I could A marker small of where I stood A passing draught perhaps a thought That will transcend the time I bought. To all that walks upon this shore I’ll be the underfoot of store. |

If I were to count the many times where your thoughts have crossed my mind I must say, oh, a thousand, or more perhaps 15,000 sands have shored my every daily waking deed and you have suited every need... Congratulations, Sy, on making people very, very happy to read you, to know you, to share you... |

Anyone walking the shore finding you a speck of sand, better have on a welder's mask, least they be blinded by the flash of your brilliance. Bless you for all you give to us. And, congratulations.
