the dim witted, the bright and the lame
a plant, a worm, an animal or Adam and Eve in Eden
you shoot up, cried, crawled or popped out
life, birth, the beginning, the renaissance is here
every year as the days turn over
your anniversary comes as always
time takes its toil in your own home
as your body will slowly grow old
thanks for the added years and lessons
to you up there who's so kind and helpful
all things will boil and can go on
if you stamp your approval and say move on
one year is now almost over
how was it, was it a struggle
was it a cake or was it an ice cream
or was it a laurel pinned in your hair
nevertheless it is here once again
a birthday that is memorable in your brain
it is the day that you were given
the gift of life, precious life
so try to make things happen :)
