Special Days

Today marks the beginning another year in my biological calendar. The good wishes have been coming in since early this morning and I am blessed with lots of family and friends who make my world a special place.

THANK YOU FOR ALL YOUR LOVE...


Gardenias (Katjiepierings) are my favourite flowers, something I shared with my mother. (I recall that her nickname was Katjiepiering.)

Special Days
Another year gone
Gradually
Fewer souls with whom to celebrate
All my siblings still intact
A love to savour
The occasional skirmish
I’ll like childhood memories
Favour

Another year to rejoice
One above the other
I’ll not belabour
Gradually gaining wisdom
To be
My own best neighbour
Winter in my bones
Summer in my laughter
Pain in a grave
Lover, enabler

Another year to think
Maybe some new ideas
Generate
Future issues
Contemplate
Closer connections
Navigate
Time and space
Taste
In this world
For me still
A place
