The kid now wants a parrot

I asked my date her birthday
     She told me, 'March first.' ...

   I walked around the room
     She said, 'You're the worst.'...

C-old chill Sunday night
H-as left under the lane; 
E-arly light sixth February
E-rases the pouring
R-ain.

D-elightful Monday occasion
I-s done during the event; 
A-llow your heart to smile, 
Z-ealously accept the birthday present....

What could have been,
Is a fruitless lament.
Because what one has,
Is a daily birthday present.

Life is short,
One hundred at best,
So greet each day,
As if you are nature’s guest.

Life and loves come,
Then they are gone.
Life’s felicity,
Is in the love we are fortunate to spawn....

A birthday present to yourself
Is perfect, which makes sense,
For it’s exactly what you want,
No matter the expense.

Your closest friends and family
May give a gift that’s cool.
But it will rarely be what you’d
Have chosen, as a rule.

So on your birthday, go ahead
And splurge in your own name.
If your purchase isn’t perfect,
You’ll have just yourself to blame....

dear sweet son
i am
so damn proud
of you
knowing that
you are
only thirty two but
I want to
speak to you
lying inside of
this warm casket
as a father,
i know that
i abandon you,
as a child
i never spoke to you
or brought you
a birthday present or
spend quality time
with you
thus, I am a broken man
asking for your
sweet forgiveness
returning home
to your kind grave
you'll always be
my hero brave
let me hold your hand...

I remember
The bittersweet joy
Of my fifth birthday

I remember 
Blowing out the candles and wishing with all my might
For my Dad to come home

I remember 
Astonishment and shock
With heart-stopping joy

I remember
Him racing down the hill
In a bright red convertible

I remember
Him walking through the door
Sailing bags in tow

I remember
Running to him
Clinging to him and crying on his shirt

I remember
Him coming home......

When I was just a youngster
With my birthday coming near,
My family all would ask me
What would you like my dear?

The present didn’t matter
I really didn’t care.
In most cases what they gave me
Was something I could wear.

Then as I got older,
The presents mattered less.
There was nothing much I needed
That’s the truth I must confess.

Now that I’m a senior,
I’ll say this LOUD and CLEAR
The birthday present I want most
Is just for me TO BE HERE!


AMEN...

”Doing nothing follow love’s intimate scent ~ 
Unwrap life slowly, like a birthday present”
            ~ quote by poet


To have x-ray vision, piercing veil of time,
may not be a boon, since it stifles surprise,
dulling the magic of innocent heart’s chime
and of joyous rapture on the upward rise.
Living in the now, as we heavenward climb,
allows God’s blessing and mercy to baptise
our soul in whose luminescence we delight,
knowing not beforehand, hues of aura bright....
