Spin for Another Year
For Tim Carmichael’s July 8th Birthday Challenge
Tim, I hope you like it...! With the new format, I had to put the link at the bottom. Not sure I like this...
K.D
We have all been taken for a very long ride.
The Earth moves quickly around our heavy moon,
Without a care for our love, pains or pride…
Does it ever really matter what’s coming soon?
My own special time on the calendar is so far away.
I have tried to think of your own unique time.
Summer makes my thoughts dry up and stray.
Our lives and intents do not fill the rhyme.
The Moon, with waxing and waning, takes our loud Earth,
With its shifts in mood, weather and tide.
We all try to remember every notable birth,
At least I know I tried…
Happy Birthday to you, Mr. Tim,…another year in the spin.
May it say all that’s unspoken; may it be another win!
