Happy Birthday

by

Daniel Chapa

Happy birthday lonely man
I'm sure things are going
According to plan

Divorced and desirous
Whose presence is a virus
You could sit there all day
And surely not spy this

My son has been dead for quite awhile
His body is buried closer than a mile

I held while he died
Held his mother while she cried
Now that very comfort has been denied

That woman has left me
Squirmed through the door quite adeptly

Left a sorrow in my home
A thing I haven't known
To have a special day, and have it alone

So happy birthday lonely man
I think its time you come up with a plan

Number 1: End the grief that breaks your heart
Number 2: Find a woman who is lovely and smart
Number 3: Ignore this birthday because families fall apart.
