carefully they whispered your name
happily sung in morning hymns
immeasurable smiles on their faces
beautifully written in tears
beaming with joy and gladness
your cry vanished into peace
and on your cheek they plant a kiss
happy to know you cared
and in your dreams you blow a kiss
happy to know they're scared
that first lullaby
This is a birthday poem in lieu of a message I wrote for an office mate's birthday. Every time somebody celebrates a birthday, one of my office mates would collect messages and create a powerpoint presentation to be sent to the celebrant a day or so before his or her birthday.
August 5 - Happy birthday, Chenara.
