My brain is feeling more sorrowful than I can constrain in
A well contained manner, so while interacting with loved ones
I remind myself that little is expected of me other than
Offering up smiles soaked in love, demanding
Little energy on my part, because my capacity to shower
Loved ones with generous doses of affection feels as natural as
Breathing in and breathing out, so though I continue to feel
More like hibernating than socializing, I chose to fly solo to
The coast in celebration of Tony’s ninth birthday where
Along with my present need for introspection, I’ve tucked
A long-last smile, an abundance of warm nuturing hugs and
The upside of my spirit into my suitcase so that no matter
What’s perculating within the wellspring of my brain (where
Experiential wisdom, passed down through the ages, resides)
My current level of emotional intelligence (which continues to
Concentrate upon gaining access to the insight that’s not yet
Bubbled up to the surface of my conscious awareness), knows
Full well that my faith will not waiver from believing that
A spotlight will highlight an insight driven
Train of thought that’s bound to filter through
My wall of denial in its own good time
And with that positively focused thought in mind
My need to self-soothe a latent sorrow, yet to be consciously
Processed, reminds me to minimize frustration by calling forth
Fresh dollops of patience so as to channel
The introspective nature of my attitude toward
Smiling with sincerity at my good fortune to be
Celebrating my grandson’s birthday amidst a host of
Loved ones, whose busy lives ask litle more at
This stage of my life than the gentle presence of my love ...
Happy Birthday Tony
