A Birthday Week
by Michael Doyle

Solid as it is with just a look
2020 was a hard one for the history books
But, as those pages have turned
There was one thing that I have learned

My love was born a Libra on her scale
And it is one that weighs justice to prevail
Ruled with a sense of unity and passion
And dare I say, her love of fashion

Still, there is one more thing of which to speak
And that is her insistence on a birthday week
Spoken quietly of after a time of contemplation
She reveals her strong desire and love of celebration

Now I have never been the kind to deny fun
Yet, when it comes to a birthday, it seems there is but one
Still, that seems agreeable enough in its simplicity
And a request without any need for anxious complexity

We shall celebrate with much love and relaxation
Her with her golden heart reflected in our connection
And me with my mumbled words of love's sincerity
It seems a birthday week is a great gift of easy clarity
