Happy Birthday

I forgot to tell you
That your life is not random
In case you forgot
Or didn't know

Our experience
While random
Is just a piece of this

More than our experience
Is how we are experienced
And that is a test for us all

For in the ability to be tolerated
There is a precious commodity
Intrinsic
And we all passed

Since we are not yet as alone
As we were
When we entered

We leave
With at least that much

Other than that
I wanted to say
Don't eat too much cake at once
You were a fun person to be around
You did your best
I hope you can look at the results with pride
And you are not alone

Even though we are all very much
In an inner-cramping kind of way
Alone
