Happy Birthday
My 53rd birthday is coming quick
Another year will be added to my past
Another year will be taken way from my future
There aren’t that many left for one to be taken
I wish there was a way to tell how many
There is no way except to wait and see
For now every year it is the same
Nothing ever changes
There will be no cake
No presents to open
My kids will again forget me
And it will be just another day
Maybe a movie or a pizza
Perhaps just sitting around the house
Whatever I do it will be nothing special
It would be so nice to just once hear two words
It would be so nice to hear “happy birthday.”
