A Birthday Offering Poem by Kelly Iyogun

My desire was to give you a gift,
Graceful, yet subtly adorned.
A token that would fill your heart,
With affection and joy adorned.

So my conclusion was this offering:

Cheers to a phenomenal woman
Another year, Another day
A golden rare new age she reach.
Cheers to a Queen
One so rare, she lines up Prince and Kings.
Cheers to my bestie
The only belle, that would make this retired poet draft a poem.
Cheers to my dream partner,
for the many times we've envisioned the impossible
Me foolhardy believing your every word,
'cos in your eyes they read I'm possible.
Cheers to you my Friend,
You are a Loyal One,
the type that sticks closer than a Sister.
Many Hearty Cheers to Heaven Heiress,
Angels sing and Chants for their own
Constellation aligns in favor of your grace
Oil of Blessings opens and pours on your face.

I celebrate you Today,
For it is a very special day
Your friendship has filled my life beyond what words can describe
I give thanks to the universe for sending you my way, meeting you has been my favorite memory.
If I could send you a bouquet of sunshine, I would.
But how could I, when the sunshine is already glaring on you?
You sparkle like a million rays of light
Bringing hope and warmth to everyone who gazes upon you.

So as you blow over your birthday candles
My wish for you is fulfillment
of all your fondest dreams.
I pray I get to experience all of them with you.
Your friendship means a lot to me
And as we grow older, and our hairs start to grey I would love to share the little things
The laughs, the hugs, the tears, and all the beautiful memories with you.
So mark down another birthday,
I wish you many more happy years my dearest Hope 🌹
