As you walked through the world in seven-league boots
and crossed the seas living through war and bombs and
rifles firing which hurt your poetic ear which can discern
words that sing in Odes that bring new meaning to older
philosophies as you create rhymes in even-spaced lines
I feared that you would disappear, but you are still here
still the brave soldier you were when fighting in the front
lines and today we celebrate your birthday: May you live
another year with joy in your heart, may the secret dream
based on a theme which you never revealed, fill your mind
With so much joy that others may wonder what your delight
is based on - may your poetry show the Master Poet in you
as you explain your views - and describe adventures other
people never thought of in this universe - and may life’s
voyage increase insight and bring more wisdom to you
And though you made so many new friends, you remain
my loyal confidant - may your faithful eyes find beauty
wherever you look and may your choice words always
impress & inspire your readers to come back for more
