Happy Birthday Fi

Today's your birthday

When words fail, we must not force it.
That's how, Mary, awed by her own Son, kept her eyes and mind open, but her lips shut.
That's how I can't find any quote of yours to throw around that is not measured and steep with meaning.
That's how your parents must be quietly proud and fulfilled;
That's how, bro.
Words fail me, really; and when they do, I don't force.

Your birthday is a momentous occasion, though not one for much talk. It has left me pondering all day how to approach it. How it often happens is… every man, good or bad, reminds you of something you have heard or seen before. In your case, I am reminded of a fine piece of poetry that would have done justice to the occasion… but, unfortunately, all I hold from that poem is "GEM"

You are of those friends i met briefly, but feel close to.
We hardly say much to each other
But the connection is not affected by time, space, or circumstance.

We wanted to fly.
But we couldn't find our wings.
.
Let your added age show you how far you've come only a little; then show you the vast road there is still to travel. Then, anything you need to do, you put all shame away and face it squarely, till it is accomplished.
May you reach heights people never imagine was possible, and bequeath upon us a new realm of wonder.
.
.i hope your God game is tight
I hope you still.....
