when he took this picture
i wasn't in the room
i was in
her Mother's womb
assume he sipped
a glass of wine
and dated the photo
5-17-49
mother was soon to soundly
sleep in a hospital bed,
having just laughed at
something silly he said
he hung up the phone
and was home alone
with Linda
as an only child
this would be
her last day
thanks to me
born the next day
so they say
but for what
it's worth
this page isn't really
about my birth
but his
and the fact is
My Father was born on March 11, 1916
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DADDY and kiss the "Other Two" for me |
