Birthday Girl

You don't like sappy things, Or gazing at the stars. You're more concerned with your morning coffee, And having a clean car. Random jokes and silly pranks, 'Never been your thing. You prefer a bonded family, And honoring the ring. Unkempt hair and falling pants, Does not float your boat. But spending time together, Is all you'd rather hope. If I could've carved out my flaws, With a butter knife. My loneliness would be no more, And you would still be my wife. So as your birthday comes along, With balloons and marble cake... Know that I always loved you, Even from our first date. 5-September-2021
