To My Loved Ones (My Birthday) Poem by Taiwo Lasisi

To this day, i was born
I never planned to write this
I was advised by a loved one
But shall i feast?
or dance?
or gild my day
with this wonderful piece

How wonderful it is, to be alive today
even as i write, many are at the verge of Death
letting go of the essence and beauty of this Universe
the trees, the roses, the blue beautiful sky, the love of a parent,
the love of a child, the love of friends, the happiness of someone somewhere.

But here i am
souring in the wind of love and hope
sojourning in the mystical beauty of love

Life is an odyssey of chaos
but the moments that makes the warrior is of Charity
and with great Gravity
i say,
THANK YOU
