Birthdays Are an Annual Excuse

March 23, 2020

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is birthdays.

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

A name and birthday poem from one sibling to another about having the opportunity to say “I Love You”:

Birthdays are an annual excuse,

A way of saying things we ought to say.

Relatively few can sing their love

Unless they do it on some special day.

Hearts are shy, and words of little use.

But now I want to tell you that I love you,

Open up my heart and say the things

Siblings seldom say to one another

'Cause of the embarrassment it brings.

How lovely that I can say this to you!
