Poem: Suzy's something or another birthday

Happy Birthday Sis

How many has it been?
Which one is this? Lost count.
Get psyched up, celebrate with friends.
Don't wait to party on my account.

Man once said, you've won, what are you fighting for?
You've won too, I say and pray it must be so.
We didn't even know they were keeping score.
Have you truly won, sis? How will you know?

We've traveled the same paths.
Visited the Holy Land's distant shore.
Raised unique children, held our wrath.
Wishing we had done much more.

Put aside the tears and fears, look past the coulds and shoulds.
A happy face, as you run your race, this you shall employ.
Few can stand where you have stood.
May all your years rest on laurels built from joy.
