Notes on Birthdays


The years don’t matter;
not the number,
be it large or small. It matters
not where you are (or aren’t)
on this very personal day:
a day for celebration
of the you you’ve come to be.

This day is one of recognition
of people and places,
surroundings and treasures,
that made your everyday
for whatever years.

You are not GETTING older,
But growing.
Always. Every hour, every day,
toward the apogee
of you-ness:

the star inside your soul.
