HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Birthdays are not just for children, no, they
Are the measure of our time together
Marking the progress and the happiness,
Even the sadness and other moments
In between, when Love takes over and shows
Us the way back from despair - it happens
And when our hopes fade, even when our love
Seems in doubt, mystery arrives saving
The day (what a cliché) and we begin
Again, thankful that eternal hope springs
And leaps to our aid, our new beginnings
Forever thankful that the day is not
Over and we are not over, my dear love.
