Happy Birthday

Today is your birthday
Fifty one years ago today
You first graced the world
Born to sixteen year old parents
Jointly scared to death
Anxious to see the world
You appeared with out warning
Without fanfair
Little did they know
You would change their lives
Little did they know
You would change the world
Today is your birthday
You were born for me
Our children said silent prayers
The sound of your first cry haunted your Mothers memory
Just breifly
The sound of your last breath haunted mine
Just briefly
I took a cake to work in your honor
Though gone you are still here
I will never forget
The day that you were born
The day you changed the world
By simply being.
 
Happy Birthday Sweet Michael
I love you.
