Karen aka Dharmagrl,
Though I don't do much posting, I read your articles regularly. Thanks for your contributions. I wrote this poem in your honor (also posted on a similar thread by foreverserenity).
~The Hazel Target
From one who knows
birthdays are not events
but excuses, brief
exclamation points
in life's chaotic prose:
may your reflection be gentle
may your lover be close
may your indulgence be harmless
may the dreams that spur you onward
be placed within your reach;
and may those that are not
leave you in peace.
