You came to me, <br />your smile embracing me, <br />your arms opening to hold me <br /> <br />and I, a year older since yesterday, <br />was lifted, raised from the day's grey, <br /> <br />catching the rainbow <br />that freely flowed from you, <br /> <br />bathing in the light <br />of your energy, <br /> <br />so glad of your bright presence, <br />on my birthday.<br /><br />Janice Windle<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/for-donall-my-birthday/
