Today Was Your Birthday

Today was your birthday
And your family forgot!
You thought they would remember
But they did not!

Today was your special day
And you looked forward to hearing
All of the good birthday wishes
And perhaps a bit of cheering!

You remembered all of their birthdays
And made each one a special card
And now you feel a bit let down
Surely it would not have been too hard...

A simple little telephone call
Or even a note it could have been-
A little boquet from the florist
Or some simple trinket they could send...

But you didn't hear from them
And now you are feeling a bit blue
You say it's not fair but don't dispair
They will remember before the week is through!

Be gracious when they remember
And treat it as a simple lapse of memory
And show them the love and forgiveness
That goes along with being family!
