Happy birthday mother Gill.
May your happiness stand tall like the hill
Much soothing like the early lark’s thrill
And the morning sunrays on your window overspill
With your dreams pouring in peaceful and still
As designed by the father in his Will
With every pathways cleared up of pills and chills
And your life lived with nothing on blank page to fill…

whith the wishes of various goods such as happiness, health, success, etc.
In this case, it is metaphorical wish of long life

2043


Dry season, the sun glints a brilliant hue, just what the carnival revellers would need, to sparkle their beads and sequins and add enough fantasy to their plumes. On the flip side of these sunlight hours, its about quiet time sitting in the shade, hearing the banana fronds ripples in the passing gusts, Its about tea, whether hot or iced and a good book.
one pot of tea
sips of intrigue
