Fresh as Fruit

When you feel so happy time moves in reverse

Strawberries sliced
Mandarin orange wedges
Mango in squares
Kiwis peeled
Blueberries, dozens
Sweet indigo blackberries and
Seedless Grapes (rainbow colors, seven straight)
Piled onto yellow cake
Poof of sweetened cream cheese whip
Maraschino cherry drip
Wish for friends and happy years
Cup of kindness, vanquished fears
Hundreds to party and take part
In the fruited work of art
Happy birthday, pool on the roof
You’re growing younger - you have proof -
Laughter and voices, family fun;
“Can we partake forever?”
