A Bit of  Nowhere

Commemorative meal for a date
long ago when before midnight
a lusty lung filled with air
and screamed a wail into the world

a girl again five of them now
two died and this one would live
most time wishing she would cease
to exist or be another real piglet

She dreamed of lands faraway
where mothers hugged and fathers
smiled, no fists shown or thrown
She prayed to sprout wings

Today I wished for candles
to blow and make my wish come true
a midday meal with those uncaring
just another day nothing special

Tonight at the close of day
upon my bed I do recline
another year through which I lived
to another year I hope to travel

Happy birthday little Grace
of long ago
I wish I could hug you
and say we will be alright.
