Birthday Bear
Today’s my daughter’s birthday.
She has so-called “special needs.”
Each year, she gives a list of gifts
She wants; my husband heeds.
I also add some extra things
I think might hit the spot.
A word search book of rock & roll
She seemed to like a lot.
A t-shirt with her birthday year,
Some leggings with designs,
But there is one thing after which
She always always pines.
A teddy bear! She owns so many
She needs not one more,
Yet that’s the gift above all others
She is waiting for.
And luckily for her, her brother
Found a “birthday bear.”
With party hat and cupcake,
It’s a bear beyond compare.
Her group home made a party
Which she loved, Hawaiian style,
But her birthday bear was what produced
The biggest birthday smile!
