Birthday Gifts for Maa

May 7 is the birthday of my friend Marion http://allpoetry.com/maa . She is a wonderful woman who finds joy, love and inspiration everywhere, and shows gratitude and affection to everyone. (I want to be like her when I grow up.) She loves birds and animals, and has a consistent spiritual practice.

Please write a greeting, message or gift of poetry for her.

Rules:
Nice matters.
Grammar and spelling matter.
Free verse or form, your choice.
One entry - your second will replace the first.

I look forward to sharing joy.

      I feel like a little child who does not want to open the gift, in order to increase the suspense ... let's see how long I will be able to gaze at it without moving ...

      I'm so silly ...

      thank you, thank you, thank you ...
