Your Birthday, Your Age

Few years, I remember When the future was little known of And our hopes were more embraced Little dear! I held you with my hands Like a Spanish guitar (as they sing) For by my tongue so came your song My voice would doze you off and calm you down Is it not wonderful To remember my precious secret of you How miniscule and lively you looked For by that I wrote of you in my heart This day has been born again To celebrate your annual celebration For in it so dwells the memory The blessings of your life A blissful and marvellous birthday Is all my word and wish for you Written between 2000-2003 Just the young thoughts of the young mind

Its so weird coz i wrote that when i was thirteen. I think i was dedicating it to myself for my birthday. But being a mother now, this poem def makes sense. Thank you Demetrios
