Anastasia's Birthday

Anastasia's Birthday

On August second Anastasia was born
This person was a rose who had a unique thorn
They were made by God to be a voice
For the oppressed and abused who had no choice

Anastasia was not quite a woman or a man
But they can do things no one else can
They are non-binary and intersex
I understand that they are quite complex.

But what's important is that Anastasia is kind
They have a good heart and a powerful mind
Anastasia is Vegan and Pro-Life
They work for peace where there is strife

Anastasia looks good no matter how they dress
Their brilliance can be seen when they play chess.
Like me, they are a person of the Rainbow
I thank God that Anastasia is someone I know

Their favorite music is by Taylor Swift
On Anastasia's Birthday I want to send a gift.
So even though my words could be misunderstood
I want Anastasia to know my intentions are good

I love you Anastasia, in a special way
And I hope this poem doesn't sound too gay
But regardless of what you think of me
Your kindness and beauty is something that I see

I follow you and I support your work
And I will reply if someone else is being a jerk
If there is anything I can do for you, please ask
Because like you I can do almost any task

I feel so limited and wish I could do much more
And I am sorry if the things I say are annoying or a bore
This poem is my gift to you straight from my heart
And maybe you have ideas of how I can assist you with my art

And now I leave to work my Walmart overnight shift
And I will think of you like always as I listen to Taylor Swift
I wish you health and happiness as long as you shall live
So please accept my tiny gift that's all I have to give
