Wednesday 22 November Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan

Wednesday 22 November

Well, November 22, Wednesday
Biggest events in the Netherlands;
in every city, small and large
Voting day for all Dutch people/residents
those are facts happening today, Jay!

To vote? Such a smallest country,
So many parties to vote for? !
Well, just one vote
you may choose
I need Huggies (soft wet tissues)
sniff and sniff
No, I don't have a cold

remember, the Huggies are for my tears
and not to vote
these uttered words ultimately lead to
to my birthday, Jay!

my testimony
Never forget today on this birthday
after days and weeks of nothing but rain
a very sunny day for the first time
a very sunny day for the FIRST time

I want to testify here
the sunny rays are direct Blessings
of God in Heaven
it just is, it can have no other meaning
the Great Blessings of God

Just think, so many days and weeks of nothing but rain,
small and big drops of rain, water all wet and terrible
today is my birthday blessed
the Great Blessings of God

I have seen in my whole life
constantly Rich Blessings,
TODAY is one of them
I feel truly guilty if I don't tell to all of you,

today is the greatest Day
the first day filled with only sun

and the most important and most precious
this earliest morn a loving knock at my door
my darling spouse my greatest bliss
gives me his sweetest kiss
of course God's great Bliss
Happy Birthday, dear Sylvia
heep-heep hurray in the Gloria!
