Please forgive the indulgence. Today – the 7th of the 7th – is my birthday you see and I turned 49 – I thought turning 7 squared on the 7th of the 7th was pretty special so I wrote this poem to celebrate that fact.
Brilliant! What a great birthday song. (It feels like a song, even without the music!) Some truly touching lines in it, too. “Shed 7 tears for 7 doves whose beauty was transcended…” Well, you have another year to think what 50 years of age will bring up for you! I’m sure it will be a great year for you.

Happy Belated Birthday to Brett, whose birthday was July 7th. He will be remembered on the July list for next year! 🙂
