[Yanda cutting her cake at her birthday dinner November 2021]

✿

prosecco gets the nod,

for a child carried in the womb, in the heart in the mind.

and she greying, now a half century old, 

who can sit at table with her, and not give the nod

to  prosecco?

the night is cool, the salmon baked,

the stories: some of praise, some of struggle, some of mischief

all of wondrous miracle.

there's a sunflower on the cake

a real sunflower

no-one will eat that, the sunflower i mean;

along with the yellow roses, big and bold,

thanksgiving and heartfelt gratitude is

lifted to divine source.

i am a mother, happily so.
