Poem for Your Birthday Card

For my wonderful Debster

I love your silver hair
ㅤ as it becomes closer to mine

I love you aging
ㅤ because you become more of yourself every day

I love you getting older
ㅤ because you do it with me

I love the markers of years
ㅤ yours
ㅤ mine
ㅤOurs

Together

I have a fondness for LovePop cards. I couldn’t find a “birthday” card I really liked, but this one felt right for the occasion. (photo by author)
