This is the eleventh poem in a Poetry Friday series of "poems about poems".  Today is my birthday (40!), and so today's poem is a present to me.  Thank you, Mom and Dad, for giving me life...and thank you to my family and friends for making it beautiful.

Laura Shovan is hosting Poetry Friday today at Author Amok.  Give yourself a present of poetry by finding what the blogosphere has to offer your mind and heart and soul.
