Today is your birthday
a time when wishes come true,
a card, a cake, a present, a party
are all awaiting you
These are things you would expect
on this auspicious day,
but my gift to you would be a special one
in each and every way
I’d offer you the beauties of nature,
the sunset, the flowers, the rainbow;
gift-wrapped, sealed and delivered with care
as you deserve them so
So when this day passes
and the days and months go by
Just look out any window
and my gifts will still be there,
as the clouds are in the sky.
Midlife, Maniacal & Me
