– – but one bird stands alone
He’s one of a kind
I haven’t seen him this week
but he’s having a birthday
I want to give the loudest
lovingest shout out
to my baby brother, Ken
I’m glad we grew up
together
in the same nest, and though we have
flown in different directions
we are still
birds of a feather. Hayneses.
Happy birthday, little brother!
