Birthday
By Ross G
In 2014
I turned 12, a happy and sad year
Excitement for reaching this age, my final year of primary school
Tinged with sadness for the sudden loss of you
My tears and sadness flow out of me with ease
I missed your presence when I cut my cake
Your supportive words express your love even when gone
I feel your love in the words on my card
I prepare for a new chapter in my life without you
I must share this joy with others now
You will live forever in my heart and will share my birthday from afar.
