Gifts So Early

My birthday is coming

And I couldn't believe

How many gifts I have

Already received.

A bonsai plant from Roxind

My dear student from 7-13

I almost thought it's dead

But I made it live instead.

Books for the soul with coloring pens

Accompanied with a pink chalk marker and a pink pen

Which I'm using right now in writing this poem

They're from my dearest honey, my one and only Alvin!

Oh, how I'm grateful for all these gifts

I know it's early but they remind me of something

Thoughtfulness is the only key

In making someone you love so happy.
