And It Was Also Bob Dylan’s Birthday Poem by Uriah Hamilton

And It Was Also Bob Dylan’s Birthday

Rating: 5.0


Memorial weekend Saturday,
Flowery boulevards are drenched in sunlight.
An Ice-cream truck pulls to the curb
For a happy, smiling, little girl
And then extends his Stop Sign;
Cars moving in both directions
Halt in a summer-like parade
And await the young child
To make her selection.
She pays for her ice-cream
And then cautiously looks both ways
Before crossing the street.
Every driver feels beautiful inside
To see the little blonde girl
Go home safely and excitedly with her ice-cream,
And inwardly express a thought-prayer
That everyone remain
Innocent and unharmed in this life.

Uriah, do I detect a hint of irony in this gentle piece about compassion and the simple joys of life as it is lived? Perhaps. Your title is powerful. As was his influence on generations. love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

An obvious Kodak moment. Oh, that life could be so simple and uncomplicated. A wonderful moment suspended in time - great visual image, Uriah. And.......Happy Birthday Bob! Linda :)
