Your Unique Birthday Gift

Your walk, your talk, the magnetism 
The thoughts of you still make me smile 
Your smile, still etched in my mind
Everything still there 
Memories we shared 
I still miss you 
Still wonder 
Recall
Wish 

We had a common love for music 
Pleasure of sharing them with you 
Our favorite songs still played 
The tears trickle at times
Feelings has changed 
No longer sad
Happy thoughts
Cherished
Smile 

My birthday’s significance changed 
You took your final breath that day
It happened so suddenly
Would not alter a thing
A last smile not shared 
We never kissed
Amity 
Magic 
Love



7th place

Althought your "tears trickle at times," at least you have some memories that make you smile, Wilma. This is a terrific poem that really moved me.

You share some great memories of this dear friend, Wilma. How sad that this friend died on your birthday. I had a friend like this; he died on Christmas 2005. There was pain for a long time, but I can look back and smile remembering the good times now too. This one goes to my favorites, Wilma. Thanks so much for sharing it! Love, Carolyn
