Age is nothing but a number
As we live to count ours
Others has gone beyond theirs
As one added worth celebrating

Within you is like
A crystal diamond hidden
As silence of eternity
That was born to stay

As time produce flame
That burns the candle of life
Melting past away with pride
Before I knew it’s irreversible

If I could stop my candle light
From melting and watering away
I must then face the reality
Before my candle become shorter

As music harps on my soul
And fresh breeze bathes on me
In a lonely wishful birthday
At a moment to cheer with you

Levitated from riptides of life
Unto lustrous saddle of nature
I quietly serenity towards
The pinnacle of granted mirth

You who care for me
And who listen to my problems
As who is my light of hope
That removes sadness from me

When I was lonely
I knew of you
By the time I smile
I know my love

Before you exceed twenty two
You knew I will be coming to hold it
And now you are thirty six and I am twenty six
I wish you long life and prosperity

Happy birthday
Happy valentine
Leslie Jones
Soul passion
