(✿◠‿◠) WELCOME TO MY 2017 BIRTHDAY PARTY (◠‿◠✿)

Its February 11th and YES its my birthday. Thanks for ALL the wishes, greetings, and gifts of poetry; ONLY SOME of which is posted here


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…

...аs one of the subjects of traditional Chinese painting containing the symbols
whith the wishes of various goods such as happiness, health, success, etc.
In this case, it is metaphorical wish of long life

Dear such and such
words written in long hand script
neat as can be

travel through heart beats

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to my mother [Mrs Mary Mitchell] who is 86 today; i remember as a child growing up that her favourite flower was Carnation. I don't think it is her favourite flower now though. [note to self. i must ask her]
