A Thank You...

Dear Charles, Gina, Paige and Jake,

Flowers in bright array

Greet the morning of this day

Blooms of beauty and colors of grace

Within the joy of heart I do place

A Birthday bouquet gifted to me

The splendor of creation fills heart’s glee

And so my gratitude in expression be known

For the generosity of heart you each have shown.

Love it is,

Mom, Grandma Rose Marie

Where splendor, grace and praise do meet

Within the depths of slumber sweet
Where splendor, grace and praise do meet
Within this black embrace of time
Emergent be this SOUL of mine
Known to breath, known to heart
From where power, passion, peace, bear their start
Spirit, Omnipresence Unity, Love, rise in light 
Blessed be the dawning, blessed be the night.

And in my mother tongue...

Dove splendore, grazia e lode si incontrano 

Entro le profondità del sonno dolce 

Dove splendore, grazia e lode si incontrano 

In questo nero abbraccio di tempo 

Emergere questa mia ANIMA 

Conosciuto per respirare, noto a cuore 

Da dove potere, passione, pace portano il loro inizio 

Spirito, Onnipresenza Unità, Amore, risorgere 

Sia benedetta l'alba, benedetta sia la notte.
