LIFE Poem: Happy Birthday, by Lauren Brown

It was sunny when you picked me up
We put the playlist on as we always did
Set up our GPS
Just two lost kids

Stopped for a wash
For us and the car
Made sure you had gas
Though we didn’t go too far

Both dressed in white
Purest form of care
I still cherish that picture
Wishing to be there

Off we went
To enjoy a memory
Except it wasn’t a memory yet
At least not for me

We ate, talked, and laughed
I met many that day
We decided to head on out
Then it started to rain

Such a gentleman you were
Opening my door even in the midst of a storm
Even after all this time
Your manners I adorn

Off we went for the very last time
Cautiously driving with smiles so wide

You played our song
And sing we did
Happy birthday my love
From your favorite lost kid
