Celebrate today in diminished haste May today, this year be one remembered Happy birthday, happy birthday to you Jay Dee (p39)
The torch of my desires,
All earth anticipates your coming
All earth revere, all earth admires.
From which all life exude,
The end of all my yearning
And all that life include’.
Whose beams a blessing are,
None fairer could earth evolve
And your beauty has no par.
I swear you’re everything to me.
And near set me on fire –
If that is what you chance to do
I have no fear so long as its you.
With joy surfeit and wholesome mirth,
I sense that everything would be displaced
But for your presence, which is added worth.
As you add another to those already had,
Your birth, a gift that made earth wondered
And proud parents forever glad.
And may happiness reign for you.

About the Book
First Collection
Poetry, in its broadest sense is a written expression in verse of the poet’s imagination and is adorned by rhyme and rhythm in a setting we label as style. Poems can be as soothing as music or any other movement of grace and form of body, or language or both. This book tries to emulate and conform not so much to any fixed standard but in a manner that can be said to be in "popular parlance" and should find acceptance in an audience of people who generally like to read.
About the Author
The author, Joseph Dawson, whose pen name is Jay Dee
Poems such as: ‘I heard sweetheart that you have found and fell in love with someone new’ was no more than an imagined stretch of jealously. Again there is the line ‘I want my wife ere the puff of life be ta’en from me’ tells of the void left since she has been gone.
This work, a First Collection, includes poems by my sons Ricardo and Marlon are expressions, of thoughts, feelings and emotions on the many nuances of love. We hope that our readers may be able to find a poem that relates to some experience of their own.
This work is dedicated to my wife, Winona
