A special dedication to a fellow member of my Dance Group

Brush away the pain
Of an evening
After the physical conditioning

This special day
You are 24
Time to lead the way
of showing wisdom and more

Life of pure delight
To take it like a 7 year old
Of Neverland dreams and Peter Pan flight
Of chocolate smoothies and frosties cold

So light the candles and make a list
of wishes and more
Like a sensous massage [get the gist?]
No! Not of sleazy parlours and dolled-up whores

If you are ever stumped
No direction to follow
Heads up chest a-thump
And never in depression, wallow

'Cause you've got
this big family here
of countless struggles fought
and overcoming of fear

Never say there's no one to talk to
And no one to cry to
Well maybe big guys don't cry
too proud? Or too shy?

Of the countless times we fell
when doing pirouttes
Of the countless times of numbness
from stretching splits

But right here right now
With fire in your eyes
Reflections of candlelight
and songs of birthday cries

This is your stage
and we are your willing audience
Surprise us beyond your age
embalmed by the perfect ambience

Blow the candles
and start your new journey





Our birthday boy demonstrating how you slice a cake with energy, definitely proved his point. I swerved to avoid his possible stampede.
