She stands on the beach,
Watching the sun bow low.
Every wave greets her kindly,
Inviting her to stay.

Stars twinkle in her eyes,
While the gentle breeze combs her hair;
Evening music fills the air
In free verse harmony.

Some giddy, teenage recollection:
"Wishes do come true...
Even after you've forgotten about them."
--I watch her smile.

August 31: Happy birthday, Swei. :)
