Words… chains of letters.
Thoughtfully inked along
my dotted life line.
Wishes most sincere,
memories dear,
gift wrapped in
fragile clenched fingers.
Pale reminder,
of me.
Of us.
This day is yours, and
yours only.
Enjoy it,
don’t let anybody
spoil it for you…
Cake icing smells and
wrapping paper ruffles,
I hope you’ll be drowned
In birthday trifles!
