Candles

Eyes that gleam
My Birthday Boy
Blows out three
So full of joy

My cake aflame
My little boy
Helps grandma blow
Both full of joy

The gift of children is a blessing. The joy they find in simple things rubs of on us older folk... Hope you both had/have happy birthdays.....Margaret

I trouble myself by writing about theories and philosophical inquiries when the true simplicity of life escapes my ensnaring words. Yet here they are, wrapped in your marvelous web of emotion. And I am in another class? I am but an amateur taking in all these wondrous sites around!
