Today is my birthday,
so wish me good cheer
because I have earned
another year.
I know some people
choose to hide away
and refuse to claim
their special day.
How silly can you be
to hesitate?
A birthday is meant
to celebrate.
To say with confidence,
“I have made it this far
complete with stories
and battlefield scars.”
There is only one way
to make those birthdays end
and I for one, I’m not
ready for that end, my friend.

Is it your birthday? Happy birthday, I hope the year ahead is good! 🙂 And remember, every year you get one year younger – like Benjamin Button! 😉
Oh that’s nice. But I don’t know if I want to get that young again 🙂 Thank you for the birthday wishes!
