I need to begin by wishing Anders a happy birthday.

Happy birthday Anders! I hope your birthday is sufficient in every way you want!

Heart breaks, mistakes
Catching up to me in old ways
I know of hard days
Had my share of lonely nightsIt’s only you that my heart desires
Only you alone can break my fall
I pace the floor and I wish for more

Thursdays are for flowers. This collection once again comes from the Discovery Garden at the Iowa State Fair from the last day of the Fair.
