A Birthday Poem

 

The day has come, 18 years from your birth,
I wish for you one of endless mirth.
I shall not only congratulate you, rather,
I also thank your mother and father.
For it was on this day, 18 years ago,
That you entered the world, as surely you know.
So today you receive a great many things,
And such the responsibility that this age brings.
From now on, you are classed an adult,
So don’t forget that things now become your fault.
From the day of your birth you’ve learnt and grown,
And today all our love for you can be shown.
Always remember that we’ll always love you,
And the best we can, support everything you do.
So on this day I thank the heavens above,
For without your birth I wouldn’t have your love.
 

Ancient

 

Sit and watch the world,
See the wonders it can offer,
Hear the music living creates,
Feel the freshness in its age.

 

Life around you every minute,
Older than our time.
Seen the fall of civilizations,
Yet newer every moment.

 

Process older than life itself,
Existence from the first.
Knowing the sin of man,
The creation of his opposite.

 

Take a moment but to listen,
To our ancient world.
Hear the whisperings forgotten,
Secrets yet unrevealed.
 

Assiduity
(Do you Care)
Dedicated to Kai and Jess

 

Don’t go through life not caring,
For if you do you’ll lose sight,
Of all the things that are important,
Of what is wrong and what is right.
Then once you know that it it over,
You’ll vow never to care again,
Don’t be like me and miss out on life,
You only get one turn…

 

Life was whole when you were near,
I wasn’t scared, I had no fears.
As days pass on and become years,
I try to cry, but it’s not there.

 

React whenever you are down,
And let your feelings flow.
You’ll have no life until you can,
I guess you’ll never know.
I hope you realize the truth,
It takes more strength to cry,
Than it does to hold it inside –
Feelings unspoken can quickly die.

 

Life feels empty now you’re not here,
Yet I’m not scared, don’t live in fear,
The days have passed and become years,
All I wonder is did you care?

 

But I, I’ve given up on my old search,
And I, feel so hollow now it hurts.
You know, that I will never care again,
But you, you still want to just be friends.
