What Birthdays Mean To Me

My
Birthday
Reminds me
Of who i am,
A tulip with thorns .
It is my day of rest.
Birthdays are more than just dates,
They give me a chance to recall
The blessings I wasn’t deserving
That were handed to me on purple clouds.
They are the sweetness in our salty lives
Giving finesse to our rough edges.
My friend calls it a miracle
With reasons she can’t explain.
Birthdays are soo special
To those who are brave
To stand alone
And believe
That life’s
Great!

Miidong.
