Stream of consciousness poem -- part 63


Chapter 63


November 6 – All day

Today
November the sixth
Is my husband’s
Birthday

My husband
Turns
Fifty
Today

I have
Presents for him
And a cake
But that is not all
I originally planned
 Last month

Since last month
We learned to be
Grateful
For every birthday
With or without
 Presents
Or cake
Or a special gathering
The day itself
 Is gift
Enough

And yet
 I still wish
I could do more
For my husband’s
Birthday
