Happy Birthday To A Former Friend Poem by Hebert Logerie

Former friend, I remember that today
Is your beautiful birthday
But I am not going to call you
Because you never answered my calls
Life is made of ups, downs and falls
Sometimes, the sky is gray, white and blue
I understand that things change
And nothing stays the same
I'm fine. I'm not the one to blame
I'll pray for you in exchange
In fine, I won't call you anymore
From afar, I wish you many birthdays
And the best in everything. The best days
Are usually ahead of us. No need to bore
Our readers. I'm moving on too with my life
The sky is at times gray, white and blue
Don't worry. I stopped calling you too
Dear ex-friend, I no longer need to hear your fife
I have realized that you were a fake friend
Not a real one. You are now a cent in the sand.
