Joy

 
Tea and poetry
commemorate a milestone
on May twenty-third

A greeting arrives
happy birthday little guy!
aren't you eight just once?

Smiling quietly
his reply brings utter joy:
I love you, Mommy!

    I wonder if he is reading this :) His joys would be mutlifold reading it, seeing the love of his mother in her haiku too, as in his life. Wishing him a very happy birthday! Cheers.
