Here’s another birthday
in the big bouquet
another gift wrapped
exquisite and particular
dinner at your favorite
Middle Eastern place
on the water
Here, the still glowing
circle of our table
Boats glide by
people wave to those
of us on shore
If they knew you
they would all be bringing
roses and cupcakes
to celebrate the gift
of you,
Happy to be Here.
