Just heard
you are having a birthday.
Thought I'd bake you a cake.
Since it will not fit
into the envelope,
a poem instead
I will make.
~~~
With this poem
comes a wish
that you have a great day.
My singing would frighten you
so Happy Birthday
is all I will say.
~~~
May your day be filled
With loving recollections
from the past.
Memories are a gift from God
that for a lifetime will last.
~~~
I am not be there with you to celebrate,
remember me with a reflective tear.
We will celebrate hands in hands
hopefully in June this year
