In Multiple Universe's have I been, Multiple stories have I seen,
Multiple births have I taken.
I am a traveller through
Space & Time.
Thus do I travel
Wading through Trials & Beauty
Searching for a light of my own being ,

Happy Birthday ANNA
I wish you Everything

I wish you can Dance in the Storm

I wish you can be a Light to Others
& teach everyone to live like Brothers.
I ask big of you,
but I know you
will bring it all true.
