it comes in cycles
rain or shine
it comes every year
while you're still alive
why does life has to be measured in years
why does life has to be marked with candles...
is it better to count it
with how many arms
you have extended
to help the sick, the suffering
or how many smiles
and laughter you have
created with your words
or your works
is it better to do it
with how many roads
you have strengthened
or how many dark alleys
you have brightened
or how many tides
you have calmed
when the seas was
rough in one's life
or is it better to do it with
how many souls you have
changed for the better
once they have known you
ever since you've met
birthdays are scales
are you heavier now
in the hearts of others
or are you still a lightweight
with no meaning and no substance
and here you are gaining in years
life wasted for nothing
life lost without a trace
life lived without a marker
to be forgotten and vanished
in the minds of others
birthdays here they are
and we have the power
to make it stand out
to make it sing
sweet lullabies
to be heard by others
to be enjoyed by others
to make their lives smile for awhile
or for the rest of their lives...
life is short, our birthdays are numbered, let's make it count. it is never too late to "aid a life" in any small ways the best that we can for any amount of help big or small are just the same in the eyes of our heavenly father and that is God :)...so thank God for birthdays...we are blessed if we could have lots of it. we celebrate and then take a break, like in blogging. salamat for your visits...
