THE BIRTHDAY ROSE
BY FIONA CUMMINGS
It’s my birthday and all I want I can’t have
It’s what I would get from my Mum and Dad
It would cost nothing at all
Just their words in front of me
Or a one minute phone call
That would make me so
happy
Forget the perfume or jewels
And cake with candles
Let’s break all the rules
And send me back my parents
I don’t want presents
Just voices I can hear and touch
Because I love them ever so much
Each birthday comes and goes
But the pain without them no one knows
What are chocolates or the reddest rose
Without their love my pain just grows
Are they looking down at me
What do they see
Their daughter with tears
For all the years
That she has been left as an orphan
This pain I have been dreading
My heart keeps on shredding
Will life ever be the same
Is this Gods crazy
game?
