A GIFT ON MY B-DAY TODAY br Melvin Banggollay br br br I can't sleep last night br I was thinking of the days br I had my Dad as my light br Guiding me on my ways br as I struggled to fight br Trials life had to convey br in my desire to write br My own life and story. br br After long awake night br Slumber touched my eyes br letting me close so tight br eyelids of my serene eyes br to take a nap for the night br but memories still arise br keeping me awake all night br though I'm snorking thrice. br br Then after a few moment br A kiss touched my head br waking me up with lament br for I was not yet ahead br touching Dad's garment br and kissing his forehead br but when a voice sediment br echoed in my ear and head br greeting me happy birthday br from my loving mother, br I rise and hug her as I say br thank you and don't bother br to give me any gift today br for You and Dad forever br my greatest gifts till eternity.
