This is for all to whom it applies. I just jotted it down for my MySpace friends with birthdays and decided to share it:
It’s time to say, “Happy Birthday!”
Happy Birthday to You.
I need to say something new.
I’m glad you were born here
And you’re going somewhere too,
OK! That was corny.
The perplexing poles of gratitude and regret,
Pictures in the mind we cannot forget,
Unwritten sonnets, unsung songs,
Unfulfilled wishes, un-righted wrongs.
Tempered and enveloped by words aptly spoken,
Mended hearts which once were broken,
Loves requited, love extended,
Hearts united, truth defended.
All of life is blended in a stew
Of all and everything that comes to you.
Blended and seasoned by all you believe,
Life is all your heart will receive …
By faith, willing, hopeful, and eager.
All that is impressive and all that is meager
Is life, and life is very, very good.
Have a happy, happy birthday. You should.
