Happy Birthday, Dearest One

March 30, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is foster children and adoption.

I welcome comments on my poems at https://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com .

A birthday poem to a newly-adopted child:

Happy birthday, dearest one,

Sweet child of my heart!

We've become one family,

Of which you are a part.

And so I sing out equally

To all of those who are

Mine by blood or fortune blessed,

No more, no less my star!

We are one in love and joy,

In fondness and in worth,

And so as one we celebrate

This day, your day of birth!
