My Maggie gazes towards the light… (That is the thought I had when I saw her for the first time)

In discrete and shy fashion she delves

To absorb the human plight;

Colorful are the schemes,

Enchanted are the dreams-

She sketches in the fathomless night;

 

My Maggie initiates the walk

With a murmur or a softly-engaged talk

Her voice speaks in her act

With the sharpest wit and tact

She pulls, tears, and breaks the norm

Never to subside nor to conform-

To the rules of ice and trendy dust

Never falters to be fair and just;

 

With passion my Maggie strives her day

In steady steps she strolls her way

Her feet anchored in rigid ground

Her feelings noble and exceedingly profound

She out-lives her vision in a silent cry

Beyond the contours of the endless sky…

 

Happy Birthday Maggie dear,

May your life be merry and ‘oozing’with cheer.

 

Angelique Fallah,
