One year or seven

your time with us has flown by;

the pup growing up.

Firsts

 

They say it’s the firsts

the first birthday, first Christmas…

it is every day.

In memory of my dad whose birthday would have been yesterday.

Birthday

 

The older I get

the less certain I become

about anything;

a condition my young self

would struggle to understand.

Thirteen

 

Can it really be

thirteen years? Adolescence,

the next stage in life.

Imago

 

Fifteen years today

the time has flown by so fast;

young man emerges.

Birthday

 

Clandestine wrapping

and signing of birthday cards,

the children and I.

Pressing the flesh

 

Dinner engagement

a frenzy of sycophants

happy birthday Liz

Birthday tweets

 

A dawn chorus to

die for; who knew that they could

lay on such a treat?
