Happy Birthday, friend
And so many more to come
So go make a wish!

*~Marian~

I love you so much, my Mamma, darling
You mean a lot more than the world to me
I am always proud of my Mamma darling
And her novels are the BEST books to see
Please forgive me if I've ever wronged you
I love you so much, my sweetest darling
You always do cheer me up when I'm blue
You're my gentle Mom with a heart that sings
That's why I always write you poetry
Because in all the world you are the best
I love you so much, my darling, you see
And I hope to give you more time to rest
I love you so much, my Mamma darling
You're my gentle Mom with a heart that sings

*~Marian~

I know that my Mom misses you a lot
And that she loves you both so very much
And I know that I miss you a lot
Because I loved you both so very much
Dearest Cookie, I sometimes see thy face
Floating somewhere in my -yes- memory
Dearest Harold I sometimes see thy face
In my mind when I remember dear you
O! I'd love to hold you on my lap now
And kiss you until my lips feel parched and dry
O, this is not quite a Sonnet, I know
But I still want to write my feelings down
My feelings of
Y.O.U*

I thought I was not that strong
Thinking I'm a weakling
But I've proved it wrong.

Been belittled for so long
To them, I'm just nothing
I thought I was not that strong.

To this world I don't belong
This is what they're saying
But I've proved it wrong.

My heart pounding like a gong
Scared, seems like shivering
I thought I was not that strong.

Everything I do is wrong
This is what they're thinking
But I've proved it wrong.

They've pulled me down for so long
But I've struggled, fighting
I thought I was not that strong
But I've proved it wrong.

The lotus dances on the lake at night
under the bright moon
and the water lily  ballets upon the river
the fairies dance in the shadows of the moon
the flowers waltz in the meadow
and the moon casts its rays upon the ground
making the ground look like silvery
shadows of light hitting the
waltzing flowers
the sounds of crickets and that of katydids
and nighttime birds fill the
air
and the sweet fragrance of
lavender, lilacs, honeysuckles,
and roses fill the air
and the lotus continues
to dance on the lake
to the song of nighttime birds and insects
and the water lily continues
to ballet upon the river
to the song of the flowing river
that she ballets upon

only at night
