Happy Birthday, Roshanak!
by Paul Raworth Bennett
~~ Star of Magnificence ~~
The beauty of the zodiac
God brought to earth in Roshanak
Who brightened up in many ways
The darkness of my winter days
She can be crazy, loud and wild
She can be tender, like a child
But most of all, a loyal friend
Through thick and thin, until the end
There are within her gorgeous eyes
Ten thousand years of Persian skies
There is a magic in her voice
That quickly made my heart rejoice
I pray that she’ll forever know
No matter where the winds may blow
That God can fill her yearning heart
And make her life a work of art
