38 Years of Hope and an Unnecessary Line

By Michael OwczarekPublished about 23 hours ago 1 min read

From the beginning,

the body forms,

and curiosity builds.

Among the stars,

whether in mother's arms,

a cribs bars,

small bed,

full, twin, double, queen;

there are all the same dreams.

Happy Birthday to you!

Every morning,

eyes widen open,

whether with a joyful struggle

or an intense desire,

the fire is sparked;

with it, today's agenda

finds a way to be dire.

But still,

and forever will be

a peaceful feeling

within thee.

Throughout time,

there are new wants and needs.

Yet, the sweet dreams

do their deeds

as they simply stem from

a place of belonging,

and the light, sun, or candle

can forever shine.

This one day,

and forever everyday,

is that sign

that always seems to

make all the wishes

come true,

helping to keep the heart at play.

Gratitude
