Your Birthday

Hey friend, hope you are doing really well. It’s been years since I saw you but thanks to the miracle of Facebook and all the other virtual tools, finally we can stay in touch. I hope you are successful with your pursuits and be sure to treat that gal really nice, sound like a keeper. It was really good to catch up. Here is something I wrote when I was offline, waiting for my system to be fixed.

 

Your Birthday

 

You didn’t let many balls get by for goal

Or lost a match stupidly, God blessed your soul    

Used to avoid the humdrum and always you’d be

Ready to abide the decisions of authority

Blew the band‘s trumpet better than most

I remember that night at NIFCA, still without boast

Reached out to bring youngsters up to scale

There is much I can recall but was it all real  

Have no trophies attesting the memories of you old friend

Don’t have any photos even of those days back then

And now I recently looked at a photo and saw you the same way

You have not changed and you’re as funny as back in the day

Your Birthday

You diDn’t let many balls get by for goal

Or lost a match stupidly, God blessed your soul    

Used to avoid the humdrum and always you’d be

Ready to abide the decisions of authority

Blew the band‘s trumpet better than most

I remember thAt night at NIFCA, still without boast

Reached out to Bring youngsters up to scale

There is much I can recall but was it all real  

Have no trophies attesting the memories of you old friend

Don’t have any photos even of those days back then

And now I recently looked at a photo and saw you the same way

You have not changed and you’re as funny as back in the day   

 

Hey, I got a Band together for you
