Happy Birthday, John ~ A Memento



As we grow old remembering yesterday visions of once was comes to mind, how time in our lives has flown without thinking of slowing down, how did one know precious time moved that fast?

As we look into our mirror discovering who and what we really are, we smile as we see a job well done, for it took a lifetime becoming what we finally became - us, you molding the image of perfection

As we remember those of whom we have touched, happiness comes to mind for without them in our lives how dull the memories would seem, how empty the past would be alone with ones thoughts

As we celebrate the event of your birth knowing the world is a better place today, as joy is shared amongst family and friends as they bring their heartfelt birthday wishes to the one who made our lives...

a bit brighter with love

Author's Note:

Dedicated to John W. Orokos the father of my children, the one
who taught me the most about the beginnings of life -
