cake and candles and ice cream <br />happy birthday! <br />I came to tell you that, <br />I didn't get you a gift, a card, or anything really <br />but today <br />if I have the means, if the world cooperates <br />and if I could, I would <br />give, for you to keep and cherish forever... <br />Everything <br /> <br />the warm sunlight through your window <br />after a cold snow-fallen night <br /> <br />the smell of rain in April, bottled up <br />and corked with damp cloud <br /> <br />the feeling of hot sand sifting through your fingers <br />on a clear summer day at the beach <br /> <br />multi-colored sharpies for marking things as your own <br />for doodling, scribbling, and scrawling your emotions <br /> <br />miles of frustration-relieving bubble wrap <br />for all your popping and stomping enjoyment <br /> <br />the comets whizzing through space <br />the wisdom of ages past <br /> <br />I'd give you, <br />life <br />dreamland <br />heaven and hell <br /> <br />tied up in a neat little package and <br />express-mailed straight to your door <br /> <br />Happy Birthday, Kyle <br />(and all the things I could give)<br /><br />gina prettybrowneyes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/birthday-prayer/
