Blow out the candles and make a wish
“Blow out the candles and make as wish “, they exclaimed as she stood in front of an enormous cake with her name on it.
She looked around at the faces of her friends, the friends she had taken years to select as her best.
She looked to the gentleman in her life, the man who had made her happier than ever before.
She looked at her children, who in their more advanced age had become, friends, companions and opportunities to feel and love more than she could have ever imagined
She thought of her wish, as they could all see, her life had entered its prime
More people now recognized her.
As her face and voice now dominated more hours and they we unseen and silent.
Her great efforts were finally being rewarded as more and more people turned to notice the reputation she had single handedly created.
There had been times when she thought of mistakes and bad choices but now was not one of those, her life had taken many strange routes but it had arrived in this place of new found worth.
And as she looked over the sparkling cake and its even sparklier candles.
She took in a deep breath and wished
In a whisper
“ Could it just stay the same please… at least for a little while?
And could I, maybe, have a little more sleep if poss.
