A year to look ahead

This is a simple birthday greeting
to confess, I’m thinking of you
Why, the influences from each meeting
continue to keep our friendship new

I hope twelve months become a banner year
a journey towards personal goals
with an angel to keep your path clear
or enlighten, if your travel slows

Keep your mind set and vision focused
and they will guide you along your way
only requiring, yourself to trust
the decisions, made by you each day

May this also be a year of growth
where faith, fate or choice supply the seeds
so you may reap the rewards, for both
the current wants and your future needs

Mostly, I hope it’s a year of fun
because four seasons only last awhile
May your days be followed by the sun
which you’ll see reflected in your smile
