Poetry: Birthdays

by Korrie West

Created on: September 11, 2008

Today is my birthday and what do I see,

but a large pit of emptiness in front of me.

My mother's forgotten and left me alone,

unknowing and scared here unchaperoned.

But I see in the distance a shimmering light,

A man named Dustin who shares in my plight.

He see's to the good deep inside of me,

and is always attentive to all of my pleas.

What more could I ask for in all of life,

than a man who really loves me through all of the strife.
