ODE TO HER

POSTED BY

My beloved daughter-in-love

Today would’ve been your birthday

Thirty one on the thirtieth

Five days after the anniversary

Fifty months since you passed on

You live on — a bright spark inside

A precocious little seven-year-old

His blonde hair — just like yours

His blue eyes — just like yours

His sharp wit and caring soul

I see you, I hear you, I feel you

Happy birthday, my sweetheart!
