Birthday Card
Keagan O’Riley
It was winter when you came into the world A cold January meeting A joyful winter greeting Is something we have in common I still have the cards you sent that always wished me happiness Strange, how I could never guess these would be more precious than any other gift I’d get It’s funny, now this simple piece of paper painted Tainted with all these happy colors and all these memories of you It’s funny, how the greatest joke I’ve ever seen is one that was never meant to be I trace your wishes with a careful hand, remembering that summer day Remembering the things I’d say And I wish I had known to say more. I wish I had known.
