Birthday Blessings

Missing image

Happy Birthday, PN!!

 

Though you always did stand tall
And you sculpted who you are

 

Instead of counting years
Or remembering the tears


Let us count our blessings
And forget the haunting fears

 

So cut your cake and eat it, too

I Wish a Happy Birthday to You!!

 



 

Proud to know you, Green Beret ~ Enjoy your very special day!! 

"May you live as long as you want & never want as long as you live."

~ Irish Blessing

"P.N. has a BIG Heart and Generous nature
who has served our country, given a part
of himself with Dignity, Honor and Pride;
asked for nothing in return." -Desire

    Nice birthday wishes, your poems strike me for the brevity that is prevalent, yet they still are full of impact... love the Irish blessing, one of my new favs..

    Thank You!!

    Thank You for Your entry: Birthday Blessings
    Welcome to the Party
    Woot
    This piece tugged hard at Spirit and while I was reading which I do several times~ Images come to me in many forms~ while taking in Your words: ...sculpted who you are- for some reason I kept seeing the Battle of Iowa Jima statue Love how You penned from within with well wishes to bring forth a smile I imagine P.N. smiling from ear to ear after inhaling Your words Tight rhyme woven throughout And for some reason I kept seeing carrot cake- it appeared to be carrot- with the cream cheese type icing on the outside
    Excellent images & message You have brought forth

    Thank You for sharing Your Heart and Spirit!
    Best wishes to You in the contest Sweet Soul
    **Judging will be done shortly...
    Many blessings too
    and much love & light~ Desire~*~
