Wishing You A Happy 'One Day Later...' Poem by David N. Munene

for thine is a day different from the others
A sabbath rather more Sabbath than all the others
None like it will in 365 be; it with its glory you smothers
Shifts of routine may not be, just the routine feeling one gathers
The glow on the face may not have been diff'rent even from your mother's
But with great faith and lack of despair, she has been the choice I've opted for than the others
Caring and tender; loving and cheerful; not different, just uniquely different
One day later has born, yet another crown untold for this beauty

Chance and choice are yours, you may at your disposal
Destiny and fate are not; you have blessings to you make a proposal
Need not shine or glow; you are the glow in the shine and the shine in the glows
Need laugh not to cheer; you are the cheer in the laughter when the Southern cross blows
A masterpiece of wisdom and beauty galore, the one God can retrace nay
An outstanding version of beauty untold; this I confidently dare say
One day later has born, yet another crown untold for this beauty

Lo! How much more I'd say about you
Will make Angels in heaven flare in jealousy anew
For in me you aren't in few traces
You are in me in every places
Whatever prompted the labor pain,
that I thank with all I could gain
Wherever this awesome dove will be
she will have to know that in her it's Bliss I see
With a heart worthy of ten of mine
She's richer than the worthiest Jo'burg gold mine
One day later has born, yet another crown untold for this beauty

I want you, no, I need you to know that:
when the storm rages, I will be thinking of you
when the furnace blazes, in me will be a passion loving you
when the snow on grass perches, my heart on you will love bank
when I slumber and lose conscious, next to my breath is you
when I cannot think, you I'll still of think, fondly
when distance keeps me from you, love binds my soul with yours
when sickness strikes, I will of you think as healing
when it is too cold, I will think of your embrace, the one I never had
when nobody is doing it now...
