For a smile as wide as a country sunrise
BIRTHDAY TIME
My birthday in a far off land,
Is something great and truly grand,
Yet one year past, not even planned,
That on this shore I now would stand.
A day that’s warm, with sunshine too,
Gentle breeze from the sea my cue,
To see the beauty which is not few,
It’s just right there, within my view.
What can I do upon this day?
Enjoy it now, is what I say,
And as I watch, a dove at play,
Cooing to me, Happy Birthday!
Β© 2019 Steve McLeod.
Happy birthday, Sir Steve. π₯³π₯³πππππ
May your life be filled with good people, prosperity, and happiness. Hope you’re missing Muffin π»π»
Have a blessed time forever ββ

It was a fantastic time, and my best birthday ever! Ilona helped make the time even better for sure. I will share more as we go along, I have a lot of pictures, though some I will keep to use this winter to help remind me of warmer times! Muffin was in rough shape, took her 3 days to get back to normal! My landlord had let a young guy stay in here for a bit without me knowing, that about finished Muffin I’m sure. But, all is well now anyway. ππΈπ
