For Annie on Her Birthday
I celebrate you because you're mine
and because you fight for others
and for yourself
and because you find your pleasure
in small and simple things
like Amish cheese and Internet memes
and because you are kind and like
the music I used to like
and because you are curious
and clever and quick to pick up
on a joke, and mostly quick to stop
and because you know your own mind
and your love is true and fierce
and I see myself in your grey eyes.
