Literary: Happy Birthday

9/30/2016 09:12:00 PM Media Center 1 Comments





People, smiles, and balloons
Gifts and pastries on trays
Greetings with love and promises
All on his special day

He turns a year older
With friends who stuck through thick and thin
Family that's more than just family
And people who believed in him

They celebrated with everyone
It seemed perfect as they played the song
And surprised him with his birthday cake
While clapping their hands and singing along

Then he blew his candle
Whispering the last birthday wish he'd spend
Closing his eyes and thinking
He wanted his life to end

His illness grew worse
As he laid himself in bed
All the cells within him gave up
And the fire inside him left

His body laid still
His soul already broken
He finally put himself to sleep
Never to be woken

A year older, and now dead
Happy birthday, wish granted
