A wish

I wish you a long and happy life

Not measured in the usual way

Of minutes hours days and years

But in moments filled with play

Each moment stretched to eternity

When filled with joy and wonder

The perfect awe of how it feels

To enjoy the rain with the thunder

May you live each moment

As if it were fresh and new

May you be able to walk the path

Followed by just a few

Beyond the walking round in circles

Of the where and why and how

May you arrive with each step

And find your destiny in the now
