Birthday wish ( for my darling )

tell me
who owns the light
in the corner of your eye
who owns the grass
and the fields
where you walk

who owns the meadows of heaven
the white clouds
the verdure
and the apple orchard
where you stand

tell me
you own the scent
you own the sun and laughter
you own all this
the happy games smiles and jumps

you own the hands touch
against your soft cheek
you own your legs movement
through tickling summer winds

you own the pure breath
of the violet and the lily of the valley
you own everything
as today
the taste of caramel
cake and ice cream

so play sing and fly
on your birthday
my darling
in my heart my sweet
I hear your ringing laughter
