A Birthday message
for my dad
You’re 78 today
Lots of love I send to you
Best wishes I
convey
I hope you like your present
Something “different” you’ll
see
It will “brighten up” the garden
With love to you from me
I
know sometimes it’s difficult
Now you’re living on your own
But I’m really
proud you’re coping
And you’re never really alone
A little tinge of
sadness though
As I write this poem for you
My thoughts turn to my
mother
For it was HER birthday too.
