The Birth-Day

Dear Mr. Kevork,

How are you doing after the New Year has come?

If I recall correctly from when I had you as a teacher in 20...., I believe you once told us that January 15 is your birthday. I could very well be mistaken.

If January 15 is your birthday or is close to it at least, then I wish you the most joyful and happy birthday. They say with age comes wisdom, but you were already more wise than any other man I've met and being in room 319 was a privilege. I always learned something, whether it was during class or not.

However, if I'm wrong and today is not your birthday or any day close then I do I apologize and just disregard this message please.

Thank you,

Best wishes,

Ant……..

Thank you Ant…….

You are right on and your memory is as sharp as it gets.

Keep up the hard work and let me know about all the laurels that you collect.

Say hi to your sister....She owes me a line or two.

If you feel like it, write a paragraph or two for the blog...

The Birth of a Day

Today is my birthday and I feel young again.

Accepting the years ripe with memories

                                                                               fragrant and sweet.

Today is my birthday

 And I am blessed that we’ve met before and will meet again.

Today is my birthday and there’s a full moon hanging far up there

Shining with mischief

Recapping miracles from way before

Inspiring again that miracles happen even tomorrows.

It is my birthday

I feel young again and it’s a full moon

We can twirl again.

We can spin again like we did before when the moon was full.

Today is my birth-day and I am thankful

Grateful for the birth and for that day...

The day that we met

With a promise that we’ll meet again

It is a full moon

It’s birthday again.

Take care and keep in touch.

H.K.
