Here’s a poem I wrote one year ago today, for a little boy on his birthday.

5/31/23

Happy birthday to a boy I may never know
Who may never fall asleep to the sound of the waves in the bay
Who may never play with the same toy trains that I did
Who may never even know my name

Carry my love with you, baby boy
May you feel it even if you never rest in my arms
May you take all the hopes I hold for you
And live a beautiful life

With Love,

Natalie
