Njeri Hunjeri Poet Light Verse

Your Birthday, Your Age

Few years, I remember 
 When the future was little known of
   And our hopes were more embraced

Little dear! I held you with my hands
 Like a Spanish guitar (as they sing)
  For by my tongue so came your song
   My voice would doze you off and calm you down

Is it not wonderful 
 To remember my precious secret of you
  How miniscule and lively you looked
   For by that I wrote of you in my heart

This day has been born again
 To celebrate your annual celebration 
  For in it so dwells the memory
  The blessings of your life

A blissful and marvellous birthday
 Is all my word and wish for you


Written between 2000-2003 
Just the young thoughts of the young mind

Demetrios Trifiatis February 25, 2015 at 5:40 AM One understands something in the degree that he has experienced it! Being a father I easily feel your inundated with tender feelings and memories heart! Moving and tender, dear Njeri! Njeri Hunjeri February 25, 2015 at 3:07 PM Its so weird coz i wrote that when i was thirteen. I think i was dedicating it to myself for my birthday. But being a mother now, this poem def makes sense. Thank you Demetrios
