As the lily blooms on the second spring
It drifts amidst the celestial mirror
The illusion of stillness unperturbed
Moonlight glistens as form is cast
Joyous is the night today
When the light of tomorrow is cast astray
Day or night, the seasons will change
Who am I to say I am unchanged
My illusion of stillness never remains
For the moonlight pond
Shatters from one ripple
That is the luxury of living
and the mark of death

As a young man in love,
I was selfish.
I walked with you,
I shared food,
I slept with you,
It was my insatiable thirst;
Desire, and
I needed to gulp it,
At any cost,
For survival.
Perhaps you felt likewise.
I didn't know.

Now, being older,
That
Which I do
Out of love,
I do for you.

Rome has set on the sun,
Spreads the rays of its streets
And the warmth of its torches.
Caesar commands nightfall come,
To make florid incense and wine
And talk as one full of the moon.

May your life, be filled with Great Wonder.
May your life, touch many through God today.
May your life always inspire others that you meet.
May your life, reveal Jesus  faithfulness to many.
May your life, be full and long in years on the earth.
May your life, be filled with adventures and Love.
May your life, be used to bring healing to all in your life.
May your life, give true Praise to our Lord and Savior.
May your life, be a true testimony of Christ love for you.
