BIRTHDAY CHILD

to wish me “Happy Birthday” cheer.

 

There was so much food, cake and ice cream, too;

so many games, and fun things to do.

 

The excitement and joy twinkled in my eye

like all the stars shining bright in the sky.

 

As mommy brought out the cake, the candles shined bright;

I thought of my wish as mommy turned down the light.

 

My daddy kissed me and lay a hand on my shoulder

as I made my wish and turned another year older.

Author's Note

I write many different kinds of poems, from children's rhymes to adult prose and rhymes. From depressing and troubled, to romantic and renewal.
