Happy birthday Morgan

Sad deathday Boomama

I'm far too far from both of you

I'm far too busy for either of you

But I have my ways

Though they may be half-assed

They aren't half-hearted

I wore a Boomama blouse

And I'll talk to Morgie later on speaker phone

Everything is sad and unreachable today

But I carry on

As you would want me to

So I do

And I will

And Christmas will be Christmas

And I'll reach you both then

I'll reach you both then

Since Morgie is with Mama

and then I will be too

And Boomama lives on in family

She lives on in the family

And I'm crying

I must write about war

And life

And story-books

I must go on with good things

Like shows I've never seen

And letters from friends

The tears won't even come out

Instead they gloss my eyes over

I miss you both

All is unreachable today

But because of you I carry on

I must

I haven't any other option
