A.Laughter.Sweet (a.la.Susan)
There are so many gifts
Still unopened from your birthday.
There are so many hand-crafted presents
That have been sent to you by God.
The Beloved does not mind repeating
“Everything I have is also yours.”
Please forgive Hafiz and the Friend
If we break into a sweet laughter
When your heart complains of being thirsty
When ages ago
Every cell in your soul
Capsized forever
Into this infinite golden sea….
There are so many gifts, my dear,
Still unopened from your birthday.
O, there are so many hand-crafted presents
That have been sent to your life
From God.
a little bday note from Hafiz ~
hoping you had a lovely day

Oh, you are too good to me! I will continue to open those hand-crafted gifts of friendship for a long time yet, and their sweet laughter is the best of all. Thanks for such a lovely present, from the loveliest of friends.
