Day 540: A Birthday Wish


This poem today I dedicate to my sister as it's her birthday! Although not yet 30, the sentiment of the poem suits her and sums up a January birthday exactly I think. No matter the season, no matter the age, birthdays are always times to make a wish :)


A Birthday Candle - Donald Justice

Thirty today, I saw
the trees flare briefly like
the candles on a cake,
as the sun went down the sky
a momentary flash,
yet there was time to wish.
