It's my Father's birthday.
I almost forgot.
Isn't that sad.
Time.
When I was young,
we always had a grand party.
Having it between Holidays
was way too much fun.
I grew up thinking
that everyone
celebrated
their Dad's day
the way I did.
My Father has been gone
a long, long time.
Twenty three years.
Both my parents
have been gone
for a while.
Mom was ten years
after Dad.
I've been a grown
up orphan for a while.
I almost didn't
remember
but I was talking
to someone
and they were saying
how it was almost
Valentine's Day.
And, I said,
It's my Dad's Birthday.
Happy Birthday
to one of
the nicest people
I ever knew.
