40 Years Young

Unmatched beauty of the soul, you radiate like the sun

Those hazel eyes tell a thousand tales

For my misguided sense of control,

You are the perfect decontrol.

In a world where madness ensues, viruses engulf,

You are my antidote,

Restoring my faith in humanity

You are the remedy.

You are as tough as nails

My anchor and my guide,

A moral compass I depend on

A loyalist I can count on.

Travel and adventure, I binge on those memories

Millennium new year in London, hot air ballooning in Turkey

And sulking as we swam in the not-so-hot springs of Santorini

I think it’s time we took the monkeys to Disney.

A pandemic milestone birthday, how I long to see you

I’m making plans over plans, on how we will commemorate

40 year’s young and this is not a cliché

Darling Priya Tai, you make 40 look young.

I love you.
