Birthday
celebrations, oh yes,
Provide the
backdrop of snapshots
Of what we
were back then,
Little
snots, tiny tots.
And the
mirror with our friends today,
Provides a
dead giveaway
We have lost
some of our youthful look,
Our past
grace, there is just a very small trace!
We celebrate
other’s birthdays, laugh as they age,
And relish
it’s not ours!
Celebrating
each moment
We get to
enjoy under the stars.
I hope you
know I am feeling melancholy
About the
days that have come and gone
So many
trials and tribulations
The letters
wrote starting, Dear John.
Missed
opportunities for me
But I’d not
change a thing
Because
through it all
Faith always
rings
To celebrate
another year
Sometimes
feels like a punch in the gut
Especially
when I realize
I am doing
it with a bunch of nuts!
But I remind
myself that God
He always
shows me the way,
People are
brought together,
And some are
meant to stay, to play,
And be there
for my birthday!
