Happy birthday, my heart
Happy birthday,
You be safe and enjoy that
Every single day!

Darling, you smile always
Like the morning ray
You have some long days
To fly like a cute fay.

Find yourself out in your talent
Race towards knowledge
Always be bold and confident
Form your young age!

Make some colorful dreams
With the high hopes
Draw some peaceful streams
For your best friends.

You have a bright future
I pray to God for you
You're my gem daughter
All my love to you!

I want to save this Princess from Zimbabwe --
because she tells me it is my destiny,
and it is all in the email she sent me.

I want to save this Princess from Zimbabwe --
because she possesses many Riches,
and she has promised me all of them.

I want to save this Princess from Zimbabwe --
from her wretched uncle,
who will steal her wealth and lock her away.

I would save this Princess from Zimbabwe --
but she only needs my Government ID,
Bank Account and Social Security.

Thinking about getting a tattoo
But, I take pause...
Looking in the mirror
I see my body’s already covered
Marked in invisible ink
Every inch of my bare skin
Painted with the joy and pain of living
From my heart to my hips
Color faded here, but poppin’ over there
Memories designed by your hands
Others etched on my own
A collection that makes me smile
Among a few pieces I regret
So, about getting a tattoo...
I guess I’m not ready
Because I can’t think of a tattoo
Meaningful enough, yet
To write over any of the life I’ve lived

I have no desire for touching any apex but a longing for occupying large spaces in many hearts.
