A Birthday 2

By eliseo guerrero cervantes

Today, on bended knees, I thank God

For the love of my children and wife.

And for their warm greetings and wishes--

Via phone calls and text messages, I say--

"From the bottom of my old, old heart,

I thank and appreciate you all very, very much.

Know what I feel and believe:

Love, I feel for all of you--always.

Love, I believe is life...even in death."

Tonight, before I go to bed,

I will pinch my cheeks and punch my head...

And then, remembering "that most heart-warming gift,"

I will cry myself to sleep.
