Birthday Rav

Happy birthday, dearest Suzan ImMy I celebrate you I adore you, actually For being a year older than you were Just a day ago For the times you have tripped And fallen with a thud For the times you have fallen down And risen with a vengeance For the times you have gone out to war Fought And returned, safe and sound For the battles you have perpetrated And won, even against your inner self For the inhumane obstacles you have faced And floored, against all odds For the lions you have met And trampled For the vipers you have chanced upon And trodden I celebrate you. I celebrate you, dearest Suzan ImMy In fact, I adore you For the breaths you have drawn Over the last two decades For the wisdom you have acquired And hopefully, more flesh For the wit you have girded yourself with And hopefully more weight For the resilience you have built up And hopefully more height I celebrate you Happy birthday, child To many more years of sanguinity.
