JUST FOR YOU
For David Joseph John (Johari)
Now and here
We gather round
To share good cheer
On happy grounds
For a while
Joy moves goodwill
To style fond smiles
With fine mood feel
~~~~~~~~~
On this date
Meet face to face
As if by fate
Glimpses of grace
Cheer attends
Your birthday bash
Kin and good friends
In lovely dash
~~~~~~~~~
Live full zest
Blessings of peace
Your journey quest
Your mortal lease
May good health
Mingle good cheer
With timeless wealth
In your soul sphere
~~~~~~~~~
Love shows signs
On your pathway
As kindness binds
Goodness that stays
Time moves fast
Late autumn comes
From first to last
Our precious sums
~~~~~~~~~
So: Be Still
To know the way
To more goodwill
You share each day
Stop to pray
With gratitude
New light each day
Blooms attitude
~~~~~~~~~
Love pays dues
With glimpses grand
Right here on cue
With kin and friends
Here in place
We gather round
Style smiles that trace
Feelings that ground
~~~~~~~~~
Where you dwell
Let cheer abide
To cast love’s spell
Right by your side
Feel your way
To pray for grace
To bless each day
In time and space
~~~~~~~~~
Live full zest
Each bright new day
Let joy bloom fest
Upon your way
Love does show
Upon your face
A certain glow
In time and space
~~~~~~~~~
