happy birthday

today is your birthday.
im not sure if i'll ever forget.


two years ago today,
i thought you were dead.
i had a terrible day.
i cried.


one year ago today,
i was limping along
waiting for a burned leg
to heal.


today,
i will work all day long.
and i may think of you
i might not.


but either which way,
i hope you have
a lovely birthday.
take care of yourself.
