In Honor of a New Tradition

May 3, 2010

Now that I think about it, it’s only been a few weeks since my daughter’s 6th birthday.

Why does it seem like a few months?

Time is weird that way.

I promised to show you the poem I wrote for the occasion.

Here ya go.

yippeee!

PS: Yes, you may alter this for your kid and use it in your no-presents-party invitations, too.  You don’t even need to give me credit!

   Time is always weird, though ironically it’s “normal” to expect time to be weird. How do I mean?

   Our natural frame of reference is outside of time, at least insofar as we measure time on Earth. Consider the nature of our Spirits: we are eternal beings, without beginning or end. As such, occasional quirks we experiences as unusually fast or slow “time lapse” are to be expected.

   As for the poem, it is lovely. Too bad we never actually sent those invitations!

     Hey, John, I did too send those invitations. Some of them. I think. At least a few of the hand-delivered ones made it to their destinations.

   So, I absent the blogging world for one (or two or three) weeks, and Mrs. Smith completely changes her blog layout *again*. Sheesh. I’m trying to keep up, but don’t be hurt if I miss a post. I don’t know if my brain works horizontal.

   P.S. The poem is darling. Of course. (You wrote it. How could it not be?)
