Air knocked out
my lungs, tickled.
Eyes blaze with
shock.
Balloons, candles,
a cake with cream.
Streamers, confetti,
blow the fire
request dreams.
A chorus of cheers,
smiles all around.
Center of attention,
imaginary crown
As I close my eyes
exhale. Candles silent.
Unexpected guests,
love, gifts, this
big event.
Friends, neighbors,
family, echos of
laughter. Close
knit companions,
there for me. My
special day.
