Happy Returns
Does anyone else but me wonder
when they look on Facebook
and see birthday celebrations
for dead aunts, uncles
fathers,mothers,
brothers, wives...
that no, this cannot be
Because the dead cannot age
take that slap on the back
notch up years or candles on a cake
They're snuffed out, like we will one day be
They're gone forever
Just memories - hopefully good ...
