One Your presence is requested at A moment of transcendence. The mystery of turning one Requires your attendance. You will accomplish something more Than favor, fun, or duty By witnessing the passage of A moment of great beauty. Two Your presence is requested at A moment of transcendence. The mystery of turning two Requires your attendance. You will witness something more Than monsters going wild: The turning of a sweet young soul From infant into child. Fifty Your presence is requested at A moment of transcendence. The mystery of fifty years Requires your attendance. We will accomplish something more Than managing to dine: We'll mark the turning of a soul From juice to good red wine. Eighty Your presence is requested at A moment of transcendence. The mystery of eighty years Requires your attendance. We will manage something more Than food and cake and brew: We'll mark the turning of a soul Towards islands rich and new. Note: Please feel free to fit this invitation to other ages.
