The joy of the feast

Dancing with the beast

Gathering with a friend

Counting toward the end

Worries and troubles kept at bay

Whilst we celebrate this wondrous day

The day of consciousness begun

The day of mother born a son

A look into the moonlit sky

Remembrance of those days gone by

Thoughts of experiences yet to be

Of what the future holds for me

Thankful not to be shown

Cherishing the unknown

Acceptance of all that life has dealt

Grateful of emotions to be felt

This feeling enjoyed only once a year

I treasure greatly the birthday cheer
