One Year of You, Melissa

One Year of You, Melissa

One year ago, the stars began,  
And heaven said, "She is mine."  
A small spark, a breath so new,  
The world was brighter all for you.

Your giggles flower like morning sun,  
Your eyes, two stars that brightly shine.  
Each step you take, each sound you make,

Happy Birthday, Mom - Part XIII

When I learned how sick you became, I knew I had to pray.
If you hadn't died, we'd be celebrating your 77th birthday.
You are the reason why I exist.
You certainly have been missed.

You were born on the side of the road because the ambulance broke down.
You were my mother and I would be happier if you

Happy Birthday

I saw it . . .
A golden morning sun, 
Surfacing the crystalline ocean,
Hanging high beyond the foggy horizon, 
It's my birthday!

Happy Birthday to BB

Sunday 6th July 2025,
On this day. B turned one year older than last night.
I sent him best wishes through XMPP Apps.
However, he would never receive that,
Because he ended our friendship August last year,
Since then, he never open and read the Apps.

When I arrived at MCentral,
The first song I played no other than Happy Birthday,
Then "The

Dearest Cousin Yolanda~


Ponderings on our days so very long ago, 
When we were the stars of our parents’ lifelong show.
How proud they were to have us at their side!

We were precious and cared for, like angels with sweet smiles
I saw you blossom

Dearest Ann

Dearest Ann , today the world completes a soft, golden circle 'round the sun, and in that warmth, your name repeats as if the stars know what you have done: Loved me through the fires, 
Kissed me through storms,
Held me when I broke
and rebuilt me to what I am.

Ten years, my love, and still I

Premium MemberHappy Birthday To A Special Friend

You and I have been friends for many moons
You and I have played together countless afternoons
Not to mention many mornings and many nights.

Since today is your birthday, I want to send you: kaleidoscopic lights
Multiple dancing rainbows of heaven, exotic flowers
And warm hugs and I’ll blow fresh new kisses from afar to your ears.

I called you

Premium MemberHappy Birthday To Me

Fifty years burned into the marrow of my bones,  
A life stitched together with fire and fate.  
Mi Vida Loca, a symphony of scars and rebellion,  
I have walked through storms that swallowed souls,  
Witnessed horrors I wouldn't wish upon my worst enemy,  
Yet here I stand, whole—unbroken, unbeaten,

I am sending you my love
To your vaunted place in Heaven
As you're watching from above

As a lover, friend and wife

Happy Birthday Momma!

When I was born, my life sucked. I wasn’t important, nobody really cared. Some bad things happened, and eventually it led me to you. I was only three, and didn't have much. Then you gave me a home, and became my family. You made me feel safe, and I was happy. I finally felt like

Happy Birthday To Me

The only reason I’d let something I love 
go is if staying with me meant they’d 
die in my hands. Like the time I stole 
a butterfly and kept it in my house for 
ten minutes. I watched it cluster on my 
window net, fighting to flee. I wanted 
it close, so I didn’t let

Premium MemberHappy Birthday, Shakespeare

“Brevity is the soul of wit.” Shakespeare (from Hamlet, Act 2, scene 2)

Succinctness must be kin to wit.
In his own way, Shakespeare said it,
so why use words to flutter and flit.
I’ll finish right here and click submit.

Yesterday, white and cold was the weather
It’s now gone old winter
It’s like turning a light switch on
Today is the birth of the spring season
Let me wish you: Happy Anniversary, Ms. Spring
Happy Birthday, my love! Again, the birds are chirping
After a long séjour flying in a warmer climate
They look like lovers coming off a lavish date
Tonight
