Happy Birthday Anna

Dearest Anna, Hummingbird
Mother, daughter, wife,
teacher, student, giver or love, receiver of the gifts of the universe
lover of life
receiver of my love
my partner, my companion on this journey to the center of our hearts

Happy Birthday, my beloved
and thank you for being the biggest part of my life
This year is the first year
of our "triple threat"
your birthday, our wedding anniversary and my birthday
back to back honorings!

Together, we laugh and cry
sing and dance
tell good AND bad jokes
cook and eat
break bread (and eat it too, yummy!)
you are the yin of my yang

Thank you for coming into my life
teaching me
guiding me
sharing your past and present with me
giving me your love
and receiving mine

May we continue traveling this road together
bringing awareness and bliss to all beings (including ourselves)
uncovering the hidden jewel
of our true nature

I thank the universe for my beloved

E ma Ho
