Happy Birthday to a wonderful friend

Mankind is like a beach and each individual but a grain of sand, making up the whole picture, some glitter a bit brighter like gold.  What a joy for me to discover that my friends are like those special treasures, each shimmer and shining with a light all their own surrounding me with a wealth that cannot be bought.

I see the beauty of the sky, the way the bark covers the trees, how the tulips are pushing their way through the Earth to be blessed by the sunshine.  I hear children playing and see birds flying.  I feel a breeze on my face at the same time feeling the sun warming the day, and I say to myself, "Yes, this is the greatest planet in the universe and I am blessed with so much, all my senses, the ability to walk, to talk, to see, to hear and to feel.  My friends are very beautiful people with such lovely souls, I am indeed, a very blessed soul."
