Gail Is The Birthday Girl


yesterday
was your birthday
no, I didn’t forget
just no card could do
I looked at a few
to say all the right things
I should say to you
you are the memories
of my childhood
both the good and bad
the steps we both took
with happy and the sad
you are possibly
the best friend
I have ever had
you have taken
all the fears
and the oceans
of my tears
and somehow melted
them with faith
I look back and laugh
with the troubles
of our past that I
took the blame for
(that I’ll NEVER
let you forget)
three months
grounded to my room
out in the yard
was where you were
standing at my window
making me laugh
between each tear drop
and now look has
become a cop
you watched over me
an angel at my window
became my safety net
never once lost faith
thank you and I have
a friendship of a lifetime
hope its gift enough

and Happy Birthday, Gail...

sometimes, a card just won't ever do,
when you can portray your love
just so.
