What Birthdays Mean To Me

A
Day that
I can call
My own, solely
Numerated to
Me. Marked in my honour!
Cake slices unlimited
Showers of love from friends and foes
My hands itching to unwrap presents.
All birthdays come with hidden surprises
The journey and story of becoming…
Wishes like magic flying from tongues
Today there is only one boss
Each dawn comes with a new suit.
My face shines the brightest
A taste of ‘happy’,
Fun unending.
It’s my day,
I own
It.
