A Birthday Wish

An eternal wish…

Among the skies…

Upon this night, the stars align 

For the birth a soul, a Gemini divine 

With a heart of gold, a brilliant mind 

Intelligent and funny, always so kind

Am I allowed a late No Theme Thursday entry? 😬 this is (one of!) my favorite images!

A creative genius, his works of art 

His humor and wit, a gift from the heart 

His duality shines, of darkness and light 

A spirit so bold, with a warrior’s strong might

I asked a zillion times for no facial hair! AI gonna do what it wants!

A friend to many, he lends a helping hand 

If you haven’t guessed, Van Halen is his favorite band

He’s a gorilla, a mayor, and he wears many hats 

There’s also a suspicion that he may be into cats…

Super Bat Gorilla! 🦍 🐈‍⬛ multiple secret identities… shhh 🤐 (don’t look too closely at the eyes…cough)

So blow out the candles and make a wish

For a life full of happiness, love, and bliss 

A very happy birthday, from me to you 

With love ever so deep, for a soul that’s true blue

Happy Birthday, Kevin! ❤️

You are loved immensely – not only by me, but so many here on WordPress. May your journey in life continue to inspire others, and I hope you know how much you deserve happiness and peace. I am blessed and beyond grateful to have you in my life!

Written in the stars ✨

Now, let’s get it together soon (in our real-life lives! lol) so we can finally get back to doing our creative things! 

Love always,

Laura 

Hey y’all – Was planning to get back on here much sooner, still getting used to the new job! I feel so bad that I haven’t had a chance to catch up with everyone, and am wayyy behind, even with my own stuff! I’m hoping I’ll have some time this weekend, but I couldn’t miss a chance to honor our beloved Mayor Gorilla. 

Hope you all are well! Stay safe and enjoy the weekend!

P.S. – My poetry is pretty rusty – but it was supposed to be fun, and light, and most of all, to show appreciation to a wonderful soul. ❤️

  23. Thank you so much, my lady love. I am truly humbled and grateful for the fond wishes. 💓💓

    It was a bright and beautiful beacon on what ended up being a very difficult day.

    Words cannot properly express my gratitude except to say thank you so much, and love always. 😊💓😊💓

    You are a very special soul, m’lady. Don’t ever forget that. 😘

  25. Gemini, systems are nominal and your trajectory’s holding steady. But more importantly—Happy Birthday, K-Dude! 🎂🎉 Down here on Earth, someone baked a cake, but turns out frosting doesn’t launch well. So instead, we’re sending you warm wishes, 220 miles high.

    May your orbit be smooth and your view unforgettable. Save us a piece of moonlight. Over and out. 🌕🛰️🎈

      • LOL … I believe you and I know you are thinking of us 😉 b/c I’m thinking about you too (hahaha) !!! When can we be independently wealthy !!? Is there a job hiring for first class WordPress writers / poets !!!? It’s like using muscles we haven’t used in ages and trying to maintain graceful strides (not happening) at the same time 😉 ~ Love to you always Sister and I pray you get too control time because whoever is behind the wheel with the weather has got to go !!! BTW, that image of yin / yang Kevin did is incredible !!! Ya’ll so talented ~ ❤

  34. Finally got to your post!! I’ve been catching up with posts, reading backwards, so already knew you’d popped in for a splash. ❤ I hope you're doing well adjusting to your new work, and that it's going to be a stable and healthy situation so you can focus your wonderful creative energy on other things, like, maybe here again. ❤

    Wished Kevin a belated Happy Birthday, so commenting just to extend a virtual hug.
