John Loving Iii Poet Ode

The Cake You Showed Me

Happy Birthday April
where ever you are
somewhere up in heaven
flying amongst the stars

Today I'll buy that cake
that you said was your favorite
and somehow celebrate
what we meant to God

I wish you could see
the smile on my face
somewhere in heaven 
I'm sure it's someplace

And what ever gifts
they give in Heaven
in our case
lets hope that I have one

But always know
that in my heart
I would have given
you the world

God showed me the one
and you, you were that girl
but the price I needed to pay for you
was totally out of this world

So today I give you freedom
from my hating that you left
take every bit of heaven
I have no more regrets
