ON HER BIRTHDAY

I want the best of life for you

but you too must understand

what I can do



you must be patient and do

what you can

I can't create the fruits



I may create space

for you to stand but I can't

become the legs:



you must run the race

on your own and be

what you dream



the redness of mars

and the whiteness of moon

merge in you



you have words to conquer

and miles to go, my dear



you must rear the goose

and have the gold each day
