Brother Monetary's Birthday is this Saturday but I will be away and most likely, very busy, so I decided to post this gift of poetry for him today... I hope you all enjoy, as well as he.
In light of your birth…
I pause to reflect
The astonishment felt
As your resplendent eyes of Israel
Stare back at me
Dark pools of liquid onyx
Pulling me through…the window of your soul
As I stumble down the corridor of your heaven
With hands against the walls
I attempt to get my bearings
As I hear your first cry
Feel your first step
Watch you grow
Observe the lessons of your youth
Taste your tears
Sense your fears
And embrace your pain
With the deepest of empathy
….I even smile and laugh inside your joy
And I am compelled to convey
Just how special…this day
Is for me…
More near and dear to my heart
Than anyone you know…
So…my prayer and wish for you
Is not the typical “Happy Birthday”
It is one of proverbial blessings and prose
So…Upon your head
I place the halo of the moon, as your crown
And inside your palms
I place the intensity of the sun
One hand holding the scepter of a comet
And the other…possessing healing for our people
Upon your chest, I place…the hand of GOD
To guard your heart and soul like armor
I shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel
Placing a cloak of love upon your shoulders
And for your lips…I place a single kiss
And
…the sweetest song ever chorused of angels ~ Inside your ears
I…
command thunder and lightning to inhabit your voice
And fire…to flow through your hair
For these things…
Are each solely deserving of a heavenly being
For you are
………a beacon of light
Knowing you and loving you…
Affirms to me daily…
That GOD…still performs miracles
And I find my faith renewed
When I look upon you
Touch you
Breathe with you
And allow my heart to beat freely
In sync…with yours too
My Confidant & Friend
Magnificent Soul & Midnight Jones
The Sexiest Libra I know…
My Companion and Guardian Angel…
These things and more…evoke my gratitude to the Lord.
May you be blessed to celebrate many, many more…
XOXOXOXOXO
