The Birthday
The Birthday- -
a day of promise, a day of cheer
a day to think through the past year
the time to realize that time
an insignificant thing
has to pass in order to bring
the future warm and secure
with thought remembering the past
and what we had to endure
to get to where we are, sound, sure
of what and who we are and want to be
with enough time left to look back and see,
the other side of we.

their birthdays, the 17 of September.
