My Daughter's Birthday Poem by Darwin Henry Beuning
My Daughter's Birthday
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!
mine is 36 as well! favorite lines: A driver's license in hand She was gone The Birthday Weekend was no more ................your working on the poem resulted in a winner to MyPoemList! ! ! bri :) i hope she 'turned out well' and speaks to you now and then.
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
