Thy Birthday 2k11

O Ima - this day be thy special day,
Mayst thou hast joy as smile upon thy face.
For I've not cake nor candles for thy day;
Only kind prayers hoping they'll find there place.

Since mine was this month I'll take these words and make them my own. Your kind prayers are welcome and the cake and candles only remind me how fleeting the year has been. Thanks Anthony! :)
