When my daughter was very young
I always felt bad
When her birthday came around.
For her, a school day!
A workday,
For my wife and me.
She would always receive
A hug, a card with cash.
The day went by too fast.
Eleven or twelve, something new
"A Birthday Weekend"
Just for you.
What a glorious time was had
You and your girlfriends
Being chauffeured by dad.
Sixteen came too soon
A driver's license in hand,
She was gone.
The "Birthday Weekend" was no more.
Great ending to the poem, Hank! (as Bri said) Also a great idea to have a weekend celebration when the birthday falls during the week. (But I couldn't handle two days of it, just one.) Well done!

Twice blessed. Our fond memories, their experience of joy to hand on. We did the cursory birthday (and still do) , wife's family did all singing dancing and joy birthdays. We're still sober but smile a lot and dance like weve got arthritis, they laugh and swing their hips. Think I know whats best to hand on. Cheers Hank
