Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is children’s birthdays. If you would like to use any of these poems, please feel free to change the names and/or genders in them.

Today’s poem is a birthday number poem for the parents of a nine year old.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Nine is an age when children like to lie:

Instantly, the world is rearranged!

Nothing is the same, and nothing's changed,

Except an angel waves one last goodbye.
