Birthday Blues
A lyrical poem from my youth
Today is your birthday
Well, it's my birthday, too
Today is your birthday
Well, it's my birthday, too
On the day you were born, God gave me a gift and that gift was you
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday to you
Now, blow out the candles and make your wish come true
Alone on your birthday
You know, I'm lonely, too
Alone on your birthday
You know, I'm lonely, too
I promise you, baby, I wish I was with you
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday, you know
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday, you know
If I can't make you happy, I'll have to let you go
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday, baby
Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday, baby
If I can't keep you happy, I'll have to let you be

I hope you enjoyed my poem (actually a blues song I wrote when I was in the Army). Thank you!

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.
