Fifty years ago today you were born into this world

A luminescent spirit taking form as a girl

You blossomed and grew and became the woman I knew.

An angelic goddess in body whose radiant smile melted my heart in two

Rumi wrote “Only from the heart can you touch the sky”

And it was with my heart in yours that we said goodbye.

You are now borne unto wings and present in love

Happy birthday Jillie

Feeling your kisses from above
