In honor of my birthday….
Looking back…
I find the laughs outweighed the tears,
My triumphs outlasted my fears.
I’ve accumulated an amazing group of friends,
Establishing roots of love that have no end.
While eye to eye we may not always see,
My parents love and, possibly grudgingly,
Accept my single branch of the family tree.
My travels have taken me from the coast of Maine
To Las Vegas, the Gulf of Mexico and the Outer Banks.
I’ve traversed Europe and fallen in love with Tuscany,
Not to mention Alaska and Canada in between.
I have one little angel forever in my heart
And the dream of a new budding life I hope one day to start.
I’ve survived more than one woman should,
And healed faster and fiercer than most thought I could.
I live my life as best I can, a sprinkling of naughty,
A pinch of sin and a ton of serenity.
My life’s been adventure, it’s been quite a ride.
I’ve loved and lost a few times over,
And found my luck more in the cosmos
than a in four leaf clover.
And so on this, the eve of my 35th year, I look forward
To the next chapter, the next 35 years and the wonder,
The love, the challenges and laughs the will shape my life;
What I have worked so hard to build up and repair,
May no man put asunder!
