Poem for Colin Fitzgerald

Poem for Colin Fitzgerald

We’ve never met 
To my regret,
But may I say
Felicitations
On your 
Natal day?
Spare not
A single tear
For the 
Passage 
Of another
Year,
Your song
Is not yet
Sung.
Know that
Being 
Merry,
You stay
Young.
I offer up
A sincere
Toast,
That you may
Live
Each day
The most.
Don’t be
Fooled
By the
Gypsy man 
Of
Abstract 
‘Time’,
And if
You can,
Accept
This humble
Rhyme.
