Birthday (poem)
-
A birthday is more than getting older
Its about celebrating the life you have
That there is another year of memories gathered
And there were times that you enjoyed it here.Upon a time I was scared of my birthday
But no more do I have that fear.
There are happy memories for me to enjoy
Even in the darkest of years.Like that second of giggling with someone I love,
Or my furry friend just sitting with me in the quiet.
That moment I read some wonderful words…
And that time after a storm when the sun shined throughI am glad I can see the happy memories now
Even when they are surrounded by tears,
That I can enjoy and marvel at the fact I am here
That the dread of time isn’t the end.Love Matty
