October 27th

Today is the day you always would find your way-

to the water.

Watching you brace for the chill of your birthday plunge-

never as daring when it came to this moment as you.

Splashing and submerging underneath it all-

bursting upwards to be reborn on your special day.

We were together because you let me in…

wrapping my arms around you-

toweling you in my love.

Thank you for sharing the world with me, your world, the world I loved.

Making my way to the water without you but for you on this day…

You are the one I love.

Happy birthday my Daniel.
