Grumpy Old Mans Birthday (R)
When we were kids we used to think that Christmas
and Birthdays were the most special days in the year.
The anticipation, the counting of sleeps and the belief
that wishes came true. The magical powers of a
birthday cake and the intense determination to get
those candles out in one breath. A dream could come
true, a special gift would manifest and a party was
nothing less than a celebration of our existence.
Santa confirmed 'we had been good' and although we
knew we had sinned along the way there was that
confirmation that all was forgiven or perhaps not
recorded. All in all, I guess the thing that mattered
most was the understanding that someone or
everyone thought we were special. Yes, a birthday is a
special day to celebrate the fact that we are special.
It’s sad to think that over time we become cynical
about magical moments and give up on dreams and
its sadder still to think that we somehow give up
believing we are special. The grown up mind compares
birthdays to yardsticks or milestones. Just a number
on a driver’s license or a reminder that time has been
wasted or time is running out. We shrug off birthdays
with indifference or sometimes a sense of slight
embarrassment and refer to it as just another day and
just another year.
So, your birthday is near and here I am thinking about
your last couple of birthdays. I hear you refer to
yourself as a ‘grumpy old man’ and I’ve watched your
face express disappointment and frustration. Fleeting
fragments of anger and a deep well of sadness;
loneliness and vulnerability. I have seen, touched and
felt your pain.
An ignorant person or someone unable or unwilling to
see beyond the surface may in fact judge you by this
exterior. You might even label yourself this way on
occasion. Masks can be very deceptive.
Today I would like you to see yourself through my
eyes; know yourself with my heart and experience
yourself through my spirit. I want to celebrate you and
I want you to know that you are special. I want this
birthday and all the birthdays to follow to be a
celebration. I want to remind the kid within you that
he is still special and I want the man you are now to
know that he is loved and honoured.
It is only a heart that loves deeply that understands
loneliness and despair. It’s a heart that understands
justice that experiences anger when justice is not
fulfilled. It’s a penetrating and thoughtful mind that
understands actions and consequences and takes
responsibility.
It is love that aches for a better world, kindness,
generosity, integrity and a longing to empower and
heal.
There are very few people who have the sensibility or
the capacity to love the way I have seen in you. This
matters - this is valuable and this does impact.
Perhaps, you feel that you are unable to do enough,
but it’s not really about doing – it’s about being. It’s
the people you touch along the way and it’s that part
of yourself that you so freely give. Don’t fool yourself
into believing that if love was not met or understood
that it meant anything less. Don’t allow your heart to
be broken by people or things that fail to respond.
You may believe that you need to plant a forest, but
sometimes you really do need to understand that
some people can only accept a seed; sometimes they
may hold that seed for years before they realize there
is a potential forest within it.
This year I may not be able to be with you on your
birthday so I am writing this ahead of time to let you
know that I would like to be. So, on the day, I will be
with you regardless of whether or not I see you, and I
will be celebrating you. This year I want you to know
that you are special and I want you to celebrate that.
This year, I hope you do blow out some candles and
make a wish. This year, my wish for you is that your
wish comes true.

Witch of Light
Boil and bubble toil and trouble
She was a witch who flew thru the night
Drew back the sheets
And made me feel right.
She has a way of releasing my fears
Waits til the morning when everything clears
Nothing like thunder, a slight wisp of light
Keeping me calm and holding me tight
She’s not what you think - she doesn’t wear black
She doesn’t spell evil or wear a black hat
She rides from my history far back from here
She promised me once she would always stay near.
A woman of wisdom and lady of heart
Healing the fragile, who feel pulled apart
Spirit and substance, healing of hands
Without an agenda without any plans
When bones get that lonely, the night is so long
She brings me music and sings her sweet song.
She doesn’t possess me but watches my soul
She loves me and lights me and makes me feel whole
Boil and bubble toil and trouble
She comes to me in the darkness of night
Picking me up by calming me down
Whenever I'm lonely she comes around.
Boil and bubble toil and trouble
She is the witch who flies through the night
Boil and bubble toils and trouble
She is the witch who makes it all light.

For Susie
Perhaps it’s selfish to want you here
I sense you reach to dry my tear
I know you are smiling from up above
And feel you here in peace and love.
I’m thinking about your pure heart
So much joy, right from the start
Your laughter plays within my mind
You always were just one of a kind.
What a privilege it’s been to have you here
How sweet you are and oh so dear
Did we say enough, did we get it right?
We wished you love and wished you light.
For all the dreams I dreamt for you
I give you now as you pass through
We celebrate your life today
With love of course-the only way.
We thank you for the joy you shed
Who you are and the life you led
Our beautiful girl we wish you the best
You did excel in this life’s quest
