Play on

June 21st

The clock chimes
It strikes another hour
Another year ends – begins
Wrinkles and scars on this ebony mark a path
Each with a story
Of Sacrifice and love
Of errors and errands

Yesterday, I danced playfully to nursery rhymes
Today, the steps are intricately sophisticated
Sometimes the music blends with my heart beat
Sometimes I’m flustered and I lose my step
I’m still on the dance floor, mastering this skill called life
Drummer, play on
Beat the drum, so that I might pass on the rhythm
Play on till I can sway no more.

I'm a year older today, funny that it's fathers day too.
Double celebration in the "O" house hold.
