Happy Birthday Bradley

Now 13
I remember once apon a time
in 1968
When I was where you are now
Age wise at least
You have been blessed
With a life full of promise
Discovering them is the life challenge
But, at 13 just heed this
There is always someone there
Looking out for you
Sometimes far and sometimes near
And sometimes both
Whether you are just born
Or 105
Mentoring never ends
Some or all of the faces change
But the message stays the same
There is always someone there
Sometimes the hardest challenge of them all
Is accepting this reality
May you never Feel the need to know
Otherwise
