A GIFT ON MY B-DAY TODAY <br />Melvin Banggollay <br /> <br /> <br />I can't sleep last night <br />I was thinking of the days <br />I had my Dad as my light <br />Guiding me on my ways <br />as I struggled to fight <br />Trials life had to convey <br />in my desire to write <br />My own life and story. <br /> <br />After long awake night <br />Slumber touched my eyes <br />letting me close so tight <br />eyelids of my serene eyes <br />to take a nap for the night <br />but memories still arise <br />keeping me awake all night <br />though I'm snorking thrice. <br /> <br />Then after a few moment <br />A kiss touched my head <br />waking me up with lament <br />for I was not yet ahead <br />touching Dad's garment <br />and kissing his forehead <br />but when a voice sediment <br />echoed in my ear and head <br />greeting me happy birthday <br />from my loving mother, <br />I rise and hug her as I say <br />thank you and don't bother <br />to give me any gift today <br />for You and Dad forever <br />my greatest gifts till eternity. <br /> <br /> <br />Written by me and for me <br />Today on my birthday <br />November 7<br /><br />MELVIN BANGGOLLAY<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-gift-on-my-b-day-today/
