The Birthday Gift

And there were plenty of it

Come to think about it

Today is different

Thank you for the surprise letter

Inside the box

A letter written with my youth

The uncluttered mind

The carefree spirit

Wandering and daydreaming

For the best of life ahead

In general, nothing changed

The heart remains the same

Just the body becoming

Unfamiliar and unrecognizable

At times

Thank you for the surprise letter

Inside the box

Reminding me that life

Is not a box to isolate

Overtime

Reminding me that the soul

Is always the same

This time of the year especially

When you remind me

Of this special day
