Happy birthday to the world!
I’ve not been up to cooking
I’ve not been up to baking
And so, we six enjoyed
A holiday dinner ‘brought in’
And the reason we enjoyed
Our holiday without
All the traditional trimmings, which
Had been a must until
I found myself unable to
Overcome cancer, is because
We six celebrated together—
Will and I
Steven and Ravi
Andi and Michael
And in addition to
My wishing unrealistically for
A greater sense of
Peace throughout
The world, during
The coming year
I hope it’s not unrealistic for me
To wish to be here with
Will to open our front door to
Welcome beloved family and
Treasured friends into
Our home when
It comes time to
Sing happy birthday to
The world in 2023
Annie
