Gift

On this day 
I have not much to say
Spare You, I will
Only because you held me 
When no other would love me
So I give you hope beyond a journal

I will think about the good times 
And I will continue to love you

Why do you cry?
You will not miss me 
Life is much too great
For my absence to be thought of 

So let us think of the good times
And I will continue to love you

This is for my Dylan Thomas 
My Tupac Shakur
The sonnets of our John Donne
The Spears our William may never Shake
