February 23rd

February 23rd started like any other day,
This happened more than two decades ago
You had no idea what was a birthday
Nor that your existence would boost their ego.
It was, is, and always will be your day!
This is for you, my dear Amigo.

A friend of yours said some things about you
“intelligent, gentle, religious and awesome”
Accurate adjectives? Yes!
But all are understatements.
You are all that. And much more.

I had a dream,
You were in it.
I envisioned a future,
You were there.
As a friend, confidante and tutor!
And much more?

This is coming late,
But it’s better to come late, right?
Than never!
