If Nothing Had Happened
If Nothing Had Happened
If nothing had happened,
a simple birthday song would have been heard.
Ribbons would have been hastily untied from presents.
If nothing had happened,
graduation would have occurred,
employment would have been secured,
marriage would have taken place,
children would have been born.
The sky that should have been seen together—
where does it now stretch?
The darkened sky stole my tears."Quotes"
Under which part of this sky
are birthday candles lit?
