A poem on your 30th birthday.
(2019)
It seems like only yesterday
And yet, it was so quickly taken away
I remember the first time meeting you
But then we were denied that too
So young when we first met
Still, it seems impossible to forget
A friendship that should have been
Were forgotten in between
Our friendship, suddenly abandoned
from a path that was predetermined
by a romantic entanglement, mismanaged
and we remain, victims of collateral damage
We both went our separate ways
But oh how I miss those days
Even though the past was daunted
We grew up to be exactly what we wanted
Life has taken some dark twists and turns
And yet we survived all of that without a burn
We grew up to be strong, independent women, despite
what our circumstances thought we might.
Today you are turning thirty years old
And there is something you must be told
You are strong and you are fierce
You are more than you will ever know my dear
Keep on giving and never forget
That we must live without any regret
Many years are still to come
Your work in this world is not yet done
My wish for you is simple and it is pure
I hope that pain is something you rarely endure
May love enter your life and never leave
May God always put your weary heart at ease
Never look back, reminiscing over yesterday
But I pray that hope and joy fill each bright new day.
Happy Birthday!
