Happy Birthday to Myself

Happy Birthday to Myself

If a tree’s growth rings present its age, 

My birthday marks another fresh life stage. 

This stage leads to the relaxing music, 

And dances of my own graceful waltz.

——

If wrinkles on my face show old age, 

They’re lines of joy I cherish and embrace. 

Laugh as much as I can, 

Laughter is the utmost life’s grace.

——

If a slower pace of life symbolizes my age, 

It means the views I missed wait for my loving gaze. 

Though not every road leads to Rome, 

I trust each path I walk has God’s blessing.
