Poetry

it’s my birthday!

For my birthday

I want a million pots of golden happiness

spread across the world

I want “I love you’s” written in graffiti

everywhere

for people I will never meet

I want to see glasses raised in ever bar

with beer, martinis, margaritas or wine

to the love between friends that will never die

I want to know

that this was worth fighting for

that this was worth dying for

I want to balance on the tip of my horizon

as the sun of the old days begins to set

and shout out loud, “Thank You God!”

Then walk home again

happy to be alive
