THE FADED CARD

a handmade card, a labor of love,
for your birthday, a gift from above
the garden glowed, a golden delight,
as we celebrated, bathed in soft light
the cake was cut, music softly played,
a silent serenade, my heartfelt aid
i wished for joy, a skyward flight,
for happiness eternal, you and i

but memories fade, like whispers on the breeze,
the card forgotten, amidst the festivities
the presents lost, the gestures all in vain,
and i, a ghost, forever left in pain
my kindness, a mistake, it seems,
as your prints remain, within my dreams.
