Years of the Winged Jewel

We hosted a surprise party for my mother today to celebrate 80 years of good living. So much love and laughter and many tears of joy. Our family is blessed to have such a loving and caring mother, grandmother and friend.

Years of the Winged Jewel

by

Jeanne L. Mullen

Like the hummingbird, she brings beauty, strength and sustenance to our lives

With the ruby light she moves in constant flight

Observing flowering color and form

Soaring and diving she inhales the energy and nectar of live

Searching sites she works to create her own destiny and that of others

Blessed with tenacity and perseverance she forever guards herself and her generation of offspring against the larger threats

With beating wings and blessed heart, she continues the miles of travel through life's journey

Providing all with a template of a fulfilling life:

Of love for one another

Of care for the beauty of the valuable earth

Of seeking connection with other beating wings and hearts

And of zest for life and its journeys.

We love you, Hummingbird

Happy Birthday
