THE SUN NEVER SHINES THE SAME
When I needed to laugh, you made funny faces.
When I needed to cry, you held me.
When I was bored, you took me on adventures.
When I felt defeated, you showed me courage.
When I was hungry, you made me sandwiches.
When I felt frustrated, you showed me patience.
When I doubted myself, you showed me what I was worth.
When I felt alone, you showed me love.
Today my best friend would have turned 81-years-old.
Happy Birthday, Opa. You’re still and always have been wholly in my heart.
