“Whose Birthday Did I Miss?” or 1st draft: “Who's Birthday Did I Miss?”

 

 
“Whose Birthday Did I Miss?”

How shameful of this old man
missed a best friend’s birthday
amid the hustle and daily rush
it came and went like the wind;
 
Whose birthday did I miss – oops
someone very special to us all
repeatedly recognized in thoughts
sharing and giving love and hope;
 
To us or like us only five years old
in his environment now thirty-five
yet still a puppy and still vibrant
Odin had his birthday and I forgot;
 
He’ll forgive me as he’s done before
knowing I love him as he too loves
caring for my older twin brother
happy birthday Odin + many more!
