Contest Entry: Multiple Tetractys
Birthday Wishes: A New Day
by Mrs. KT
I wrote this offering for a friend whose husband had just died, and I knew this birthday was going to be especially difficult for her. . .
<<<~~~>>>
Dearest Emily, There are so many things that I could send today as you celebrate this birthday: a plant, a beautiful bowl, some white wine. But these things mean so little compared to the wishes I hold for your year ahead: May the coming days be filled with laughter. May you always have time to take long walks. May each new day dawn with the promise of joy and love for your family and all your friends. May the water's edge bring you contentment. May you find beauty in the simplest things: blazing sunsets, soft breezes, boat rides, time spent alone or with friends you meet along the way. May there be opportunities to travel, see new sights, and try great food. May you never be lonely or sad. And if you should ever need a cup of tea, a friendly chat, or just moments to share, know that I am only a thought away. But mostly my wish today is just this: May angels always be right beside you to guide and protect you through this new year... All My Love, Diane <<<~~~>>> |
