Happy Birthday Daughter
Happy Birthday Daughter
I wish as I do every year,
Your birthday will be full of cheer.
Surrounded with the ones you love
And presents you’ve been dreaming of.
Remember how excited, you
Were every year, October two,
When you were small? I’d often bake
A banana layer, birthday cake.
I know your birthday gifts were small
But you were happy for them all,
And though sometimes you were a tease,
You were an easy child to please.
I’d like to travel back to when
You were just five or six or ten.
But since I know that cannot be
I’ll go back in my memory.
I’d like a time machine to dial
To travel back for just awhile.
With love, Mom
Won # 4 in Carol's contest "Write For Yourself"
