WHEN TESS TEED AND ATE MY SERVING

(Birthdays are days of reflection and reaccessing one’s life. Every 21st June gives me those vibes, even more so in these times when a day must be lived like the last. In wishing me well in every day life continues to grant me breath, I wish years will keep all of us together to its next until our ordained forevers. Thank you for following always.)

Days fading before my eyes
With few regretful ties
Life has taught me to think
And has pushed me on challenging mountains’ brink
Still I’m living like am eagle, soaring
I’m living like a lioness, loving
I’m living like a dove, caring
I am living like a hen, nurturing
I am living like a peacock, proudly
And I’ll live the unknown years left, happily

II
Through my stubbornness and my pride
Through my naughty haughty hide
Through my needs and my cries
Through my loss and loving byes
Through all the chaos and the sighs
Through the uppy downy ties
I’ve lived and I’m living
I’ve seen more to believe in
I’ve loved and felt loving
I’ve known more to trust in
I’ve fallen and still taste falling
I’ve known more than a rising
Life has taught me thoughts unforgettable
And so I live blowing out the regrettable
…to embrace the loveable
