(Composed my birthday week
in January of 2009).
Friends gather around a table,
Stories are heard,
Both deeply philosophical
And delightfully absurd.
Tuscan wine makes the rounds
As sparkling laughter abounds
In the candle's flickering light
Like stars shimmering in the night.
Dean Martin serenades
While the creamy sauce marinades
Our tongues with pure delight,
Kindling smiles warm and bright.
Some like a jingle of silver bells
Others, merry horses in a stable,
Uproarious laughter resonates,
Encircling the festive table.
Like the melodious chirping of birds,
A chorus in the sun's brilliant ray,
Cheeping and twittering to one another,
So friends rejoice in this beautiful day.
Or as a lively babbling brook,
Skipping across the chiming stone,
Tinkling as it frolics and plays,
So laughter rings its cheerful tone.
Like a blazing fire on this winter's eve,
Dispelling the darkness and bitter cold,
Golden candlelight and crimson merlot
Warm the soul and sets our hearts aglow.
