Raised by my father
I was knee high to a grasshopper
My brothers and sister and I had
Many Nannies and Babysitters

When I turned sixteen
I applied for my drivers permit
The paperwork returned
Wrong date of birth

It had to be a mistake
Crazy right  everyone knows
their own birthdate

I Requested my birth certificate
Come to find out
My birthday is 13 days later
I felt lost in the shuffle

Forgotten hurt
Of course leave it to
One brother to call every year
On my fake birthday
Laughing
happy fake birthday


the irony I was my father’s favorite

Every Second, Every Minute, Every Hour

I desire only to relive the day you asked my hand, and every second... Every Minute... And every hour.. We spent together then after. You said it best, my love. I can get used to your hand squeezing mine, guiding me close to you... Crushing your lips to mine.. And quenching our immense thirst and zest for a life beside each other. Anniversaries have nothing on us, because I feel each time I see you is just as wonderful as the first time I saw you.

Every Second...

Every Minute...

Every Hour...

Every Day...

Every Week...

Every Month...

Each and Every Year...

To be forever entwined in your arms is my goal.

To always hold your hand like this..

To experience the same rush that came with our first kiss..
