HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DAMIAN JAY CLAY.

I dedicate this piece to you @damianjayclay:

”On your birthday”

I’ll send you

not jewels nor cowrie shells
which you can lose to bandits;

not linen nor Italian shoes
which you can lose to moth;

not cards full of sweet-nothings
which bouts of mood can flush;

nor will I burn the flying seconds
marking this whisking of a meteor.

On your birthday,
O morning flower,

I’ll send you these
lines as golden statue

that you may, through my
verse, forever breathe.

A smashing 2018th birthday!

With love,
@samueloption

Nice poem.
This definitely the sweetest way to celebrate a friend and I'm sure he's never going to forget this poem and this year's birthday.

Happy birthday @damianjayclay

Thank you @enoch158.

@damianjayclay is more than a friend. Hopefully, I pray he does not forget lines of the poem.

hope so too

Thank you, Samuel. A fantastic poem and a fantastic present.

You are most welcome, Damian.
You deserve only the BEST.
Enjoy your day.
