The Opal Stone

Reminders of life pass my eyes

I was barely awake but in this new january day light

He gave me things to realize

I have been alive for a long time

42 approaches the birthday looms

The day I evolve with pokemon powers

I made this lap around the sun it feels good

As usual I was happy to hibernate away the hours

My phone rang and rang as Somi's Anymore song sang

My sister said we are at the gate its time to party for an early birthday

I came out and greeted the people

A lot of mixed emotions were stirring internally

I was happy to see my nieces and nephew

He is my birthday mate

I will always be glad to celebrate this way with you

He picked the cake and most of the food

we played our family poker game known as 41

We taught my niece how to play

My mom had found my sisters old piggy bank of white ceramic and lovely flowers

I know all those unknown sounds was a way my father told me he was around

He came and haunted  us for he was the one to give us a ceramic piggy bank

i told Jayden he could have mine to break when I am gone

He said wait when you go home or when you are dead

We were already at my house so I told him when i go up in my balloon house

Now on my fingers sit a ring from my father, a ring he gave to my mother

who then gifted to her daughter

For the first moment of a new year

I feel less alone

I couldnt find the love of my life

Yet the loneliness is blocked by the opal stone

the one on my finger

making memories linger

So when you see a single girl dont pity her

the best people are free

i am reminded by the opal stone my papa gave to me

as an early birthday gift so 42 I am ready

there is no more loneliness dwelling in my home

My guarding powers lie in the opal stone
