ANSA… for the love of writing
It's the day when it gets to be my day
Effulgence takes the better part of me
So also, gloomy thoughts fill my mind
I celebrate, I also think
I have successfully lived another year on Earth
I have also gotten more mature
The feeling of being celebrated is amazing
Sometimes, I feel I might not be ready for the more years to come
I am grateful
Some didn't make it to the day but I did
Oh it is wonderful
My family is here and they wrap me with love
I hold my cake in my hand and blow the candles
In all, I'm super excited and hope to see more with Grace.
Happy Birthday to me!
This heartfelt wish is just for you
Today is your special day
May all the dreams you do pursue
Be realized in every way.
A special person you are to me
You deserve the best of everything
So may this birthday and the coming year be
One that offers you the best that life may bring.
And you were magnificently created and positioned in this generation, and equipped you with a heart that is filled with compassion;
To hear:
The hopeless cries of the poor
The bitter accusations of the abandoned
The dangling despair of those who are trying to save themselves
To see:
The faces of those who are lost
Some wrinkled
Some weeping
Some hidden behind veils
Some obscured by fear
Some earnest with searching
Some blank with boredom
Happy Birthday!
