Inspiration Amidst the Fire

A birthday poem to my partner in life

You make my heart skip a beat

Not just today

But every time you look my way

You fill my soul with pride

When you pick up your pen

And share what is deep inside

With each year that passes by

I sit back and admire more and more

Those gifts you possess and I adore

From that day when you caught my eye

All that is you

Glowing and radiant

As a firefly

Wondrously our stars aligned

It was you that I would find

A soulmate

One of a kind

We turn the page over

Begin a new chapter

A collaboration like no other

You center my universe

Keeping me grounded

No matter where I may traverse

Your kindness and wisdom

Genuine and unique

With mystique

Completely authentic

This past year

I walked the wire

You are my inspiration

Amidst the fire

Another trip around the sun

Whatever lies ahead

We turn away from the well-worn path

Making our own path instead

Faithfully by your side

Without hesitation

I will always be

Your constant champion

Forever your companion

Happy Birthday 2026
