Happy Birthday Mayflower

Happy birthday mayflower,
Happy birthday my merrigold.

Where we walk you provide the sight,
Brighten our ways where darkness beclouds.
Thin and thick you are the beacon,
You are the spark, you are the piston;
You are the fire in the combustion chamber.

Often when I come to you like a fountain
In your love you restore my smile
As you author soothing words
Win or lose you make me feel good.

Where I win, I am the winner;
Where I lose, I am the better;
When I am silly you simply laugh;
My jokes are dry, they crack your bones.

On your platter I place my heart
For nothing you demand but it
To toast, to train, to tame.

Happy birthday mayflower,
Happy birthday tamer of my heart;
Have your fun , have your fudge;
Have a peck from your darling Flash.
     … love and hugs….


For my sweetie on her birthday anniversary.
