Have A Fulfilling Birthday Tomorrow, Sheng, Mom Loves You!

Happy Monday, Sheng...
Although you were born in Beijing, China
nineteen years ago, and grew up in America,
from Chicago, Princeton, Austin, Stillwater,
back to Evanston, People love you for
who you are...Aunt Chuanzhen Peng, or Suhua said
Happy Birthday 2 U in her letter last week,
Today Mom says "Happy Birthday" once again.

Happy Birthday, Sheng...

Prayers

This is what I wish for you: acknowledgement,
To comprehend that every need has an edge,
To know the responsibilities on those we influence,
No joy comes without pain,
No trust exists without loss,
I can see how you plot your future,
and how sins get you out of control,
You have earned a wealth of praises,
Meanwhile, grounds are opened to possibilities,
No curses,
but mirrors to hold up to confused souls,
Proceed with knowledge,
No panic about what's ahead there.
