Happy Birthday, To Me...? No - Happy Fatherhood - For Him.
Lo,
many years ago,
stood a man,
he was pacing the halls of a medical facility,
the same building where he would give out his last breathe one day,
but on this day,
many years ago,
he was a strong vital man in his prime,
and he had just become a father.
He was a great father.
He still is - in spirit.
I am indeed just a living legacy of his goodness.
And greatness.
"His song is in my soul"
And I didn't pay him my respects
nor honor him near enough yet.

Dan Fogelberg was fortunate to have said it all -
in song -
before his sire passed away.
I was not so fortunate.
Mike & The Mechanics know how I feel
Despite being musicians just like Dan is -
they didn't get it all said in song
before it was too late.
They reflect on life as I do -
in many aspects...
Notice the evolutionary motif of this next video
and song
as well as the running through a graveyard
as the years go by
as we grow older
life is a race to the grave
or actually - an ascension to a higher state
of being and of consciousness - both
...
Nothing more.
Amen
The actor who appears in the above video knows all about it now.
Roy Kinnear ascended in 1988.
He crossed over - he was taken in - in the good sense
No matter what the mistakes we make in life
No matter what we regret not having done
or said
when there was time to do so
No matter what we regret - either way
- we will not be held accountable too much.
God Knows what our intent was.
God Knows what's in our hearts.
God Knows - we're far from perfect
even those of us who try to be -
as His Son Told us to be.
And so, another birthday, to me,
is but evidence that a luta continua
