one year older
one year none the wiser
forget the candles
scrap the cake
less is more, remember?
from girl to woman
like a flower blossomed
what's innocence
where I'm from
it's literally non-existent
so it's another year
another day
another reminder
oh, come what may
so much love today
i feel faint
greetings poured in
like summer rain
well my friends
thank you for everything
life's been great
absolutely divine
almost heavenly
so just for today
happy birthday
to me

Instead of counting candles,
Or tallying the years,
Contemplate your blessings,
As your birthday nears.
Consider special people
Who love you, and who care,
And others who’ve enriched your life
Just by being there.
Think about the memories
Passing years can never mar,
Experiences great and small
That have made you who you are.
Another year is a happy gift,
So cut your cake, and say,
"Instead of counting birthdays,
I count blessings every day!" - Joanna Fuchs
Thank you Richard! Lovely poem! :)
