(for when your special day comes)
brother/sister _____________
your entrance into the world
was as necessary as bone
pushing through your mother's womb
the ancestors guiding you thru
to a safe journey
special is the day you arrived
your cry full of light and wisdom
you are precious and beautiful
as precious and beautiful
as the last drop of drinkable water
this is why i write my love for you
in permanent ink
on lavender stationery
Happy Birthday!!
Brother Clyde,
I would love to write everyone a personalized birthday poem but that just isn't possible. So, I thought I would write a poem for everyone that they can read on their special day, if they so choose. Hoping you would understand though not written on your date it was still written with love.
