The sun rises in the East
like every other day,
while friends and loved ones
sleep far away.
You stir and grumble,
stretch and yawn.
Twenty two years today
since you were born.
You miss her fiercely,
but do not smart:
she's always with you,
locked in your heart.
And though you cannot
scent a beer,
we'll have one for you
and toast your year.
While you're in the desert,
embrace your fate:
Drink more coffee,
CELEBRATE!
