Almost 31, But 30 Forever
Your birthday of 30 years,
nearly brought you to tears.
I remember so very well,
30 years, no one would you tell.
Your 30th birthday passed quickly by,
no acknowledgement and no reason why.
How could you feel 30 was so old,
but the reason was your own, to me you certainly told.
I thought you felt your life was not going well,
yet you giggled, laughed, so no one could really tell.
Only 5 weeks from your 31st birthday, tragically you left,
and I have always felt this to be a sad sort of test.
Your 30th birthday brought you down in so many ways
Mysteriously, you only lived within 5 weeks of your following 31st birthday.
Strangely, you remain beautiful and 30 forever,
almost 31 years, but almost does not count, because you never.
Your birthday of May 24th, 2003,
you were 30 years old and always to be.
