Born Yesterday


may you be born yesterday
and tomorrow
and today
may you die a small death
every night
may you wake naïve
with troubles forgotten
with a taste of gratitude
to be given a body of air
a new start for your journey
may you lay your head
sun-heavy; no task uncompleted
knowing you spent each moment
making hard decisions gracefully
pushing yourself further
to love unafraid of consequence
not clinging to what may come
or has already past-
grateful to have travelled here at all.
may you die every night
and be reborn every day
may we all.
