A Birthday Thought©

By Richard A. Falb

 

Birthdays come and birthdays go

And with advancing years

Some do not like to count them

But others proudly do

It is a milestone to be marked

Another year survived

Why is it some do worry

As years go speeding by

While some see cause to celebrate

At each new year they can begin

To start anew a new fresh page

To see what can be writ upon

A new adventure some new friends

Perhaps a different place to see

It's really how you look at it

It can be bright It can be dark

It's really you can light the spark

That grows into a bright new light

Or dies into a gloomy night
