Today is not a day to be angry at God
Or to mourn the lives we will never lead
It is not a day for asking why
Or avoiding the places we used to go
Today is not a day to fill with distractions
Or to spend pretending all is okay
It is not a day for jealousy
Of fathers and daughters laughing in the sun
Today is to celebrate you
My sweet, perfect, wonderful Moo
Your head on my shoulder
Your beautiful smile
The good in your heart
The pride in mine
The love we share
Deeper than any distance
Happy Birthday, Maddie.
November 11th will always be a happy day because it was the day you came to me.
