290. Birthday Poem: Write a poem inspired by birthdays.
The earliest memory I have is my third birthday when I would have a party with neighborhood kids in attendance. The specific memory is before the party when the decorations (whistles on strings hanging from the clothes line) and food were set and my mom was in the bathtub getting ready. Excited and eager for the party to begin, I gazed at my dress hanging on the closet door and stared at the closed bathroom door where mom was taking way too long. All I could focus on was the dress and getting the party started. Hmmm, somethings haven’t changed.
