Briana's Birthday

Today’s Briana’s birthday So we celebrated large. Her boyfriend and his mother, For this epic day, took charge. We hadn’t met in person For some fifteen months or more Since Covid, helped by distance, Came around and slammed the door. We drove for two plus hours For a meal in their back yard And this is what was waiting: Pink balloons, some clothes, a card… An Elvis photo in a frame, A CD and two mugs, A necklace with a heart, tiaras And some heartfelt hugs. Brett grilled some yummy burgers While his mom provided sides. There was music and a birthday cake And so much love besides. What a wonderful reunion And a way to celebrate Both a birthday and a taste of Future meetings that await. *Briana is my daughter. She and Brett met at a special needs camp over 20 years ago.
