Birthday Wishes for Jocelyn

She is known for outer beauty, her hair, her eyes, her grace.
But her soul is where her smile lays, a deeper, calmer space.
This is the Jocelyn that I know, a person filled with hope,
She lives in life’s great moments, and can see its broader scope.


She sweeps into a silent room; it lights up with her voice.
She thinks of all the things to do, then tries to make a choice.
I love her indecision, and her ability to change.
She goes with what the day presents, and moves within its range.


A feeling or a fleeting thought, her trusted inner guide,
That’s who Jocelyn really is; her want for joy helps her decide.
Her love for all who cross her path is shown when passing by,
A quick “hello”or friendly wave, a deep and loving sigh.


She has shown me how to age while evolving with great speed,
How to take a day, do nothing, and enjoy the beauty of that deed.
It’s an art to wake up careless, and go with it as it comes,
A workout, then an errand; a walk, a talk, and then some fun.


She shows gratitude for family and her friends with loving ease,
One thing Jocelyn’s sure of is that happiness is finding peace.
She shines when Rocky prances in, her pup and her great pal,
He gives her great companionship and removes any block or wall.


I wish that you could hear her laugh; it’s crisp and true and dear,
I wish that you were blessed with how she listens, so sincere.
I wish her much more laughter and a fun and joyous birthday ride,
The greatest gift I wish for her is receiving back what she provides.

 
happy birthday sweet friend xoxox
