Sequenza 2: Growing up's a trap anyway

Turned out nice again - 

Lovely day for your 21st!

That is today, right?

Remember the phrase,

that "Life begins at forty"?

It's time to find out!

There's only so much

to be said in a card, or

over these short lines;

Sometimes the value 

is rather in what's not said,

but in what you know.

So Happy Birthday!

I hope your day's as nice as...

You truly deserve.

Sequenza I: Mothering Sunday

"But how will I cope?"

The little bird was frightened.

"But what will I do?"

'I'll always be here!'

'There's nothing to be scared of.'

'I have faith in you.'

The bird flew away;

But he would never forget

who taught him to fly.
