BIRTHDAY BLUES I'm all alone on this first day of May with only pictures of you I have so much to say With a pen in my hand, I feel tied up inside I want to let loose the words I know I can't hide Although you're in your twenties to me you are brand new The words "happy birthday" aren't good enough for you Will the year to come favor me with such fate as to spend May 1st with you, it's this I cogitate Futures burn brighter when they're kindled with hope, seal me up with your love just like an envelope Although you're in your twenties to me you are brand new The words "happy birthday" aren't good enough for you Spring 1993, Ash Hall
