Oh, Happy Birthday My Love

the moment we met it was love a promise like a flower bloomed your deep laughter and voice was music to my soul oh, happy birthday my love love came to us like a guest unbidden and you became my heart and soul with trembling lips we kissed and that first kiss was so heavenly I was lost in magic as clouds sailed across the sky oh, happy birthday my love we both drank from the deep blue sky as you wrapped me in your arms when you asked me to marry you without hesitation I said, yes we had so many future plans for us and our baby and happiness always filled our days oh, happy birthday my love today, I will bring two perfect red roses one for you my love on your birthday and one for our baby boy "and with tears I place the roses on your graves." ___________________ September 7, 2021 Poetry/Free Verse/Oh, Happy Birthday My Love Copyright Protected, ID 09-1387-222-07 All Rights Reserved, 2021, Constance La France Written for the Premier contest, A Poem To Your Spouse on His/Her Birthday Sponsor, Funom Makama, Judged 09/20/2021 Second Place

Oh, you make my heart bleeds in this heart-warming masterpiece! This is the first poem I've ever read that makes me cry while reading and keeps me crying even after...I feel catharsis as I read every line. Your last line shall leave a special footprint in my heart. And I would love to read this gem again and again for years and years to come...Thank you, dear Heart..A FAV for me...If I am the sponsor I would give this splendid piece a trophy win!!

It is so very sad that this happened in your life, Constance. You were able to take the theme and create something very touching for the birthday to a spouse contest.
