A Birthday Blessing and Celebration For Manatita: Poem
Born on Purpose For a Purpose….
Manatita
A divine journey
Immaculately woven
Born through threads of purity
Proclaiming love its own mission.
Without question, today is one of the most outstanding days of your life. As you celebrate this very important day, I pray for blessings on you so that your life may know true happiness throughout its earthly journey.
You are a magnificent person whose excellence one can’t help but aspire to.
Have a fantastic birthday!
"Because time itself is like a spiral, something special happens on your birthday each year: The same energy that God invested in you at birth is present once again."
Menachem Mendel Schneerson
Your Special Day
I sing to you this song today
To celebrate your birth
The child has now become a man
To find his place on earth.
This heartfelt wish is just for you
Todays your special day
May all the dreams that you pursue
Transpire along your way
Thanks to you for being
Exactly who you are
For giving hope to others
Whether near or far
May your future dance with joy
And filled with every pleasure
Remember with your every breath
You’re someone we all treasure.
Manatita The Lantern Carrier
The Prayer

Thank you for your kind words. Manatita is an inspiration and so are you. I appreciate your reading this for the second time.
Blessings to you and yours. May we stay safe and continue spreading love to all.
Chuckle. Thank you, my Bhaia Ji.
Thank you Marlene and any that I have not yet thanked. Stay Blessed.
Today I came back to read this poem again. It is equally enthralling to read it second time. I bow my head in respect to both of you. Audrey because you lighted the lamp and manatita because you are the lantern carrier.
Stay home, stay safe. Stay blessed.

Thank you dear Marlene. Manatita is truly filled with inspiration and wisdom. I, too, love singing this song, just as you do. Bless your sweet heart.
This is such a wonderful tribute to a marvelous person. I am truly inspired by Manatita and have been since the day I met him here on HubPages. Your song selection is one of my favorite and I can say I sing it (to myself) almost every day... even the Italian parts!

Hello, wonderful Eddy! My goodness, I'm thrilled to see you back after all this time. Hooray! I love your writing and I love you. How nice that you now have a laptop and can start writing again. You go girl!
Hi, Genna
Thank you for singing praises for Manatita. You're such a beautiful person and so kind of you to like my poetry. La,la,la,la.
I'm so sorry I'm late. But my voice joins the chorus in well wishes for Manatita, on his birthday and always. Beautiful poetry and song, Audrey. :-)
Eiddwen,
I remember your loving concern. Missed you here. Thank you so much!
This is exactly why I am so happy to finally be back amongst you all on here. This is a beautiful poem Audrey and an extension of the person you are. Hub pages is more than a writing group it becomes a family. I have now finally invested in a laptop so that I can carry on writing whilst in work and will never have to leave again due to commitments. Beautiful Audrey.

Tomorrow you blow out your candles. My turn is on the 22nd. Happy Birthday, my beautiful friend. Gee, we have plenty of company in our birthday month, right?
Manatita has been a strong influence for me and for so many others. I know you join me in wishing him the happiest of birthdays.

My honor is to honor you. How blessed I am. How blessed we all are to partake of your wisdom and inspiration. You make us all want to be better people. " To be loved is to see the face of God."
Thank you for introducing me to the "dark horse." Thank you for making me feel invincible!
Audrey,
I heard a very young girl perform tonight. She reminded me of your poetry. You are what we call a dark horse. I only realised recently that you are that good. Perhaps your throat chakra is open, it brings other gifts with it, Like Bach and Bethoven had.
You have done a super job in a short spell of time. Awesome!
Thanks again to ALL my hubber friends.
What lovely sentiments. I know he has to feel grateful for such warm thoughts.

Dear Ruby
Whatever would we do without the love and support of our Hub Page friends? I would not have made it through my son's death if not for the kindnesses of all the friends I've made here and that includes you. We both share the worst of all experiences...losing a child.
God bless us all that we remain faithful, steadfast, and above all, loving. Manatita has such a capacity to love.
Hugs to you, dear Ruby and thank you.

I feel the love and I'm sure our Manatita feels it too. How wonderful it is to be surrounded by the love of our little community of writers. But who knows this better than You?
