Gestation

waking at 2:43 this morning maybe that's when it happened nine months after a new year's party blow out now breathe in and push out we can see his head with an all ready receding hair line now fifty nine years later looking back at that extra weight i added to this date as dearly be loved we nervously exchanged earrings as they popped champagne celebrating now it changed from dearly beloved i do and i did but what i'd done for what said in jest has now an anniversary of two births and remembrance of what would become a future death

Happy Birthday my friend. I do remember. Not that it was today. I may have a block on this day. I found myself in a thick dark cloud this morning then remembered it is the anniversary of my mom's passing. I forget every year. Hugs

Thank you for so much Maureen. It seems that this is the only poem I'll post today& yes it's my birthday and if you recall what you've read; mine is not me... But thank you do much for your wonderful comment Maureen.
