The sun shining brightly on my face
as to briefly rendered one
snow blind
the scent of milder air
hints
of a season of change
to come
a deep breath in… and out
thus, the morning begins in gratitude
for a small visitor
who seems happy enough with my offering
of homemade suet
and his friend, gladly and somewhat amazingly
hanging by his toenails
to partake
a day on the calendar that comes
with a centering of love
two-fold
the first being the birthdate of a very dear heart
who most fortunately for me,
happens to also be a very dear
friend
of mine own
as well as always, thoughts of my Dad
gone now fourteen years
thinking of these two, on this day
forever now commingled in my heart
with gratitude
as is so easily attributed to each
a certain humbleness and kindness
a thinking sort of
intelligence
and both very genuine in
character
and love
a visitor so sweet
a birthday to celebrate
a passing
to honour
each of these lovely things combined
served up with a
thick and juicy berry smoothie
offered by my daughter
set a day’s reflection
to bright
and beautiful
with love and gratitude
for all ♥
Happy Birthday Wishes Dearest, Divine Dulcie! (( ♥))
