PRESENT

This contains less than half the candles it should have. I would have needed a fire extinguisher to put out all of the candles otherwise. 🙂

A day
a year
a life
celebrated in the excited voices
and pink buntings hanging
from the ceiling.

Princesses watch from the rafters
holding the pink tapestry in place
plastic smiles amused
at the man all agog
keeping dozens of candles lit
over a purplish cake.

All are in the memory
box wrapped in colorful bows
the present
of a lifetime.

My husband prepared a (Disney) Princess theme birthday for me.  I never thought I’d be giddy over having our place made up for our celebration.  But I was.  I woke up this morning to much ado in the kitchen – my husband and children were busy preparing for today.  I watched them like a little girl having a party for the first time.  Needless to say, I had a lovely time.

Thank you for coming by and sharing my joy. 🙂
