Dear Subscriber:
Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of
view. The theme for this week is life after death.
Today’s poem is a birthday poem for a deceased loved one at
the gravesite.
I welcome comments on my poems at

Yours,
Nick Gordon
Birthdays do not end with death,
But last as long as love,
A feeling that remains alive
And grateful grief still moves.
And so we celebrate your day
By visiting your grave,
A place that you have left long since,
But is all that we have.
Dear spirit, come and join us here,
Your loved ones by your stone!
Come sweep across the barrier
To claim us as your own!
Happy birthday, dearest one!
Oh, happy, happy day!
Not even the most bitter night
Can take this joy away!
