Birthday Child (Poem)

“Dottie At. The Zoo,” 11×14 Acrylic on Canvas 2024, Hattie Hopkins, Dot and Hop Gallery

as you move through your life

may you always look for these

sparkles to catch your eye

lights to make your feet dance

ideas that you can tear apart

to reconfigure in interesting ways

stick all these things inside your heart

a kaleidoscope of hopes and dreams

let this play across the world

bright with love given and love received

and never ever fear to be exactly who you are

(for Dottie)
