Eve's Child


It's New Year's Eve
The world is celebrating
Drinking in the festivities
Make yours a double
For it's your birthday

Dearest Chrissy
Here's cheers to you
This is your year
Back in Melbourne
Where you belong
With your friends
We welcome you home

Forget the past
Bury the pain
Of a tragic time
That's no longer a part of you

Though you have grown through it
That period's made you strong
But now it's time
To cut loose
And let your hair down

Live life to the max
Get a little wild, child
Party hard
You deserve happiness

So here's your birthday card
Given with love
And signed in smiles
So display it with pride
Coz it's from your best friends.

"I wrote this poem about my dear friend Christina who is putting together this website for me. Her birthday is New Year's Eve, and she had moved away after leaving an abusive marriage ~ she deserved happiness and to have some fun. Her favourite song was once "Wild Child" by WASP, hence the reference to 'get a little wild child'...."
