To You Today And Always
To you especially today
Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday to my darling heart,
I love you always, for all of eternity
I love you even when we are apart.
***
Wherever you are, I hope you are happy
Surrounded by special people who care,
Spoiling you today, especially today
This momentous date that they share.
***
You are forever in my loving thoughts
On days like today, you are even more,
I have to believe life has been good
Or has it made you even up the score?
***
I wish you many lifelong blessings
To be showered upon you every day,
Love, light and happiness for you
All good, no bad, to come your way.
***
I often wonder if you ever did find
The elusive you’ve been searching for,
I don’t believe you ever knew what
It was that you wanted to score.
***
Tell me just once, were there any regrets
Were you sorry for the part you played,
If you could reverse your choices
Would you be any happier today?
***
Happy birthday my love, my heart
Birthdays are a good day for reflecting,
The past, the present and the future
Are there any areas you may be neglecting?
***
For the last time today, Happy Birthday
I give the freedom of my thoughts today,
I remember, I reminisce, I dwell, I love
But tomorrow I’ll pack my thoughts away.

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
