Watered Down Juice
You once gave me such a thrill, eager
To meet you with a yearning heart full
So hungry, thirsting for your vibrant
Flow of crimson devotion, love so
Alive with serenity and dreams
Awakening hope within my soul
Lighting up my whole life with kindness
Exploding with whispers of feeling
Caressing my spirit with soft warmth
Painting my nature with hues of hope
Brilliant shades of joy and soothing faith
Singing to my soul of fond friendship
You once gave me a feeling that was
Filled with loving vows resonating
Within, where every vision gossips
About the longings that thrive inside
Where wonders embrace all my beliefs
Assure my dreams that they will have wings
Encourage my love to feel real
Like the sun rising round the mountains
Touching the cold limbs and branches with
Warmth from the middle of the fond heart
Catching the touch of moments breathing
Flawless grace through the spirit’s essence
You once gave me promises of love
Today you sigh grimly of wrinkles
And tresses that resemble silver
Where I once shone with vibrant color
And smoothest skin roaring innocence
Birthday, my friend, go back where you’ve been
