Without nature's song
A ponder, a sigh,
Through virtuous eyes
His weavings belong
Like heavenly skies,
As four seasons rise
His wisdom grows strong.
A birthday wish flew
A feather apart
With tenderness true,
The poet in you
Inspired my heart
Revealing anew,
Each cloud you soar through
Pure love you impart
Dear brother I send
As blessings return
To you faithful friend,
With poetic pen
Such freedom I yearn
To weave from within,
Again, and again
Let bright candles burn.
Author notes
I hope you have your best ever brother~ "Happy Birthday"
