Jake's Birthday Poem

my shining boy

your birthday poem is your beautiful wife and daughter, sweet dingo the dog;

your adoring family. the summer island we are on,

where sun burns through morning fog so everywhere you turn something comes into focus.

there will be breakfast, and you know it will be delicious;

there will be mistakes you cut down to size.

your birthday poem is your daily habit;

love forward in the shape of yes.
