While I am gone
life still goes on
and so you still had a birthday.
I wish that I
was closer by
to celebrate your special day.
But we both know
I had to go
because work needed to be done.
There were many
an attendee
looking to me to bring them fun.
I was, it’s true,
thinking of you
so I ordered you some flowers.
The site told me
your gift would be
delivered within a few hours.
The cool bouquet
I sent your way
was disguised as a birthday cake.
When I saw it
I just bought it
cuz it’s like something you would make.
