Oh, dear Moonie, I will not vie
with beautiful words that flow for you,
caress they will your stunning grace
homage paid to dazzling eyes
to lips un-compared, to one with strength
endowed by what life may try…
To give you a birthday, a simple birthday,
with streamers, balloons, in ready supply,
the only purpose- to share your smile
for one fleeting moment on your special day,
to settle deeply into your gaze
as you ponder my simple gifted surprise…
This gift you may toss, for gifts do not last
in memories as a warm hand might,
or blanket your heart in tender thoughts
as you remember this day on future nights-
for what shreds of memories would linger there
but those that would a passion ignite?
Riches you have, though immeasurable,
for how can you tally what is between us-
two cents for feelings, a dime for heartbeats
skipped as we chanced so close, and blushed…
sorry you can’t sell them on E-Bay, my dear,
for cold cash is better than men, I'll trust!

Wayne,
I don't know what to say.
I so lack the words for a proper comment at times like this. Quite possibly because I can't see the screen clearly either
This is beautiful Wayne! Thank you so much from the bottom of my heart. I know thank you isn't much but it's the best I can do at the moment.
Thank you my dear brother!
