MY BIRTHDAY TODAY!!!!

Instead of counting candles,
Or tallying the years,
Contemplate your blessings,
As your birthday is here.


Consider special people
Who love you, and who care,
And others who’ve enriched my life
Just by being there.


Think about the memories
Passing years can never mar,
Experiences great and small
That have made me who I am.


Another year is a happy gift,
So I cut my cake, and say,
"Instead of counting birthdays,
I count blessings every day!"
