Your Birthday
A birthday comes but once a year.
There is really nothing to fear.
A birthday means you are still alive.
If they stop it means you’ve died.
All your friends will wish you well.
They hope you are doing swell.
They say you’re as old as you feel.
Hopefully, you are still able to kneel.
Bow down and give thanks to God.
Thank Him for another year. It’s not odd.
Take time to party with friends and family.
I hope things are as good as they can be.
I always say I am as young as my mind.
I have enjoyed childhood a long, long time.
Life is what you make it to be.
Keep a positive outlook and you will see.
Wonderful things will come your way.
You will enjoy every single day.
A birthday is icing on the cake.
So make the most of it. It’s what it takes.
It is your personal holiday, just for you.
Make the most of it. I will too.
