Misplaced Birthday by Patricia Joan Polhans I wonder how you would feel If others changed your birthday Into red suits 'n' fat ole men, Even gave your name away! How would you feel if others Took all your Christmas joys And celebrated your birthday As a holiday of gifts and toys? And what if you were only Allowed upon the sidelines As others opened your gifts Knowing none of them were thine? Wouldn't you feel discouraged, Maybe angry or even resent The fact that you weren't given One single acknowledgment? And wouldn't you be upset, Disappointment at their gall And maybe even feel cheated As others had a gay ole ball? "All my gifts you have stolen Tears are welling up in my eyes For I'd given you my very best gift And my birthday taken by surprise! "Surely you must have many gifts To lay at my precious feet So that this Christmas day My birthday would be complete! While searching thru your gifts Could you possibly find My one misplaced birthday And return it for it is mine?" |
