Happy Birthday!
(sorry it's late)
I was still growing
inside my mother
but soon after
I also entered the world
we grew up
in different places
with different cultures
and yet some similar beliefs
and we learned about the world
one day
our paths intersected
and we met and became friends
and now we share a world
inside the world
there are many
parallels and similarities
in the paths we each travelled
and now that we share one
it seems a better world
and I am grateful
that you were born
to intersect my path
and teach me more than I would ever have known
if you hadn't come into the circle of my world.
