Birthday Poem for the Birthday Girl!

Help me celebrate the birthday girl!

When I am old one day
& gray as a day-old snow,
I’ll look at you & say:

Happy Birthday, Honey!
You’re as old as I was
when I gave you this poem
on your seventh birthday.

& you’ll say to me, 
Daddy! I don’t have that card anymore!

& then I’ll send you the picture
of it that I kept for all these years
& say … HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Pals to the End.

— Daddy
