June

A Poem by Jenni Bailey

I hope you wake up okay

It’s June 18, happy birthday!

I hope your coffee is the way you like it-with sugar and cream

I hope you a bad-ass birthday theme

I hope you checked the weather on your phone

I hope you don’t celebrate alone

I hope you’re all smiles

I hope friends and family come from miles

I hope you have inner peace

I hope you have a delicious feast

Happy Birthday to a Father

Love your disowned daughter?

 

As for me…

I wake up sad

I silently say ‘’Happy Birthday, Dad’’

I continue to wonder why

It’s so damn easy for you to deny

The reason is sick

Living your life like you can pick?

 I didn’t cause it

You just finally threw a fit!
