Doorway to a birthday

May you have

a colorful door that opens

into a place where

you feel at home –

A sturdy mailbox for
connections with others;

a window to catch sight
of what’s going on in the world;

tools to clear your path and
to water the seeds you plant;

a porch to
welcome strangers;

a comfy chair in which to rest
after a day’s work --

And, most of all,

may you always feel

loved.
