Birthday Blessings

(Dedication: For my son Michael Zachary)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~



Start with your heart to know fond quest,
Spark your sure art with happy zest.


Pique your clear mind with happy thoughts,
Prize your grand finds as play frames plot.


Apt love knows joy in peace of mind,
Ask to enjoy life's journey kind.


Reach for a touch that crafts each day,
Reap more than much good feel your way.


Keep faith and hope your circle wide,
Kindness now scopes each lovely tide.


Live what you feel as wise thought rooms,
Love ever thrills what change now blooms.


End as you start with grateful heart,
Endow each part with awesome art.


See the end game in wonder's quest,
Spice your good name with zeal and zest.


Make room for more to fill your cup,
Mind what you store as soul moves up.


Zoom now in-sync with heart and mind,
Zest anchors think as success signs.


Explore each day the path of light,
Expect wise ways that confer sight.
