Birthday

Instead of counting candles,
Or tallying the years,
I am contemplating my blessings now,
As my birthday nears.I consider special people
Who loves me, and who care,
And others who’ve enriched my life
Just by being there.I am thinking about the memories
The passing years can never mar,
Experiences great and small
That have made me who i am.Another year is a happy gift,
So Im Just gonna cut my cake, and say,
"Instead of counting birthdays,
I count blessings every day!"
