The Web Poetry Corner - McKenna Byrne - For Ann Lousin on the Occasion of her 60th Birthday

For Ann Lousin on the Occasion of her 60th Birthday

by

McKenna Byrne

If we should fail to breathe beyond today,
Time will have taught us many a holy tale
Of virgin, knight and legend; how to pray,
Through tragedy and thorn how to prevail,
And, granted gifts, not seek a measure more.
Cherished Time - permit our hearts avail
Of your indulgent hand, and in this hour
Upon this February day, grant us to reavow
The unreturning years that have gone before,
Renewing friendships gathered 'round us now.
To Ann, who, at the center of our sphere
Bears all the grace bright fortune will allow,
We say with love from her friends gathered here
That only God could hold her heart more dear.
