Like Any Other Day

Seems days,

'set aside' as 'special'

are merely slashes through

my calendar.

Each passes,

uneventful

and common.



Birthdays,

milestones,

anniversaries

and even Mother's Day,

are no more than

passing markers

of time's

forward movement.



Its hard being happy

on such occassions,

when it seems you have been,

one again,

forgotten...

or thought of as

not important enough

for its recognition.



Today, like all days

that have slipped by me,

is nothing more

than just another day.



Like any other day before.
