With each flickering flame, my years unfold
Tapering down, leaving days of untold
Dripping memories, of past events
Happier times, still I’m not quite content
Candelabra in hand, a welcoming light
The fire, still burning, with no end in sight
Celebrating the day, reaching for more
Wondering what this life has in store
As closer to Halloween, comes the time
Knowing I still haven’t yet reached my prime
So, I’ll blow out the candles, let the wax seal my fate
On this day in October, 2020, twenty-eight
In case you haven’t figured it out, today is my birthday. I originally posted this four years ago and have amended it to reflect this years date. I’m off for the day! See you tomorrow ❤

I wrote this for my Mom, three years ago, for Mother’s Day, and I am sharing it again, because today, we are celebrating her 85th birthday! Happy Birthday, Mom!! Here’s to many more! ❤
Years ago, that October day
I learned about true love
God sent me a guardian angel
My blessing from above
Guiding me along the path
She taught me how to live
With wisdom, grace and dignity
Giving all she had to give
And still this day
She shines her light
On all who gather round
I’m so very proud to call her Mom
My love for her abounds

This week, Colleen has given us the words Celebrate and Number as our challenge. Remember, you can only use synonyms to write your poetry!
Written as an Etheree, I chose Estimate and Ritual.
One
Seemly
Estimates
A timely span
On this living Earth
Unknowing where it ends
They often choose to reflect
Growing old, another birthday
With constant reminders from others
Who find the ritual more important
