I am and have been cared for
I am and have been given
Thoughtful, mindful, presents
Today is not my birthday
But it could be (echoes of Damon)
The sky is blue, the air is clear
I am here, with a smile
The tide is out
Out beyond the gas exploration platform
Waifs and strays stray onto the pier
To tread gingerly on the old wooden boards
Even in March people sit outside
On the benches, to look easily at the sea
From the coffee bar
Where they sip cappuccino, and swig tea
Today is not my birthday
But it could be (more echoes of Damon)
The scones are warm, the strawberries are fresh
I am here, I am sated, and I am happy
