Happy Birthday Mai

Dedicated to Mrs Laurenca Silva -
of Mungul Pequeno, Salcete, Goa
On her 100th birthday.

by Brian Mendonca


To live a hundred years
Is to be blessed by an age.
A century is inadequate
To sum up your graces.
You live in the eye of time -
The matrix of the past
the present and the future.
May your journey be blessed
Your loved ones around you.
Each day is your signature
O seraph of Eternity.
