Happy Birthday!

The sun rises,
a new day dawns
and I’ve reached another digit,
another trip around the star.
Less the responsibilities given,
more the dreams of possibilities
of far-off lands
beyond my ken,
beyond the range
of the 5 senses allowed
in this kingdom.

So I continue to eat, to clean,
to create a home,
to care for companions
who remind me of you,
in whom you are,
surrounding me with you,
telling me stories
I will never live
but which quench
my lust for Life
and will live in memory
no matter how real.

I am you.

You give me all I need
and all I need is you.
So, thank you.

Thank you...
for everything.  \**/
