JANUARY 21 - HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

Last Wednesday was my birthday. Even though it was the day I was born, I have decided that I will remain forever 21 in my head and my heart despite knowing how to do the math to calculate my actual age! I try to remember the joy my parents felt at my birth and make that part of my mindset. Even though they have both passed away, they always made me feel like I was a joy in their life. It makes me happy to remember that.

January 21 is the day I was born

Twas on a rainy stormy morn

My hair was red, I smiled at birth (maybe)

Mom and Dad were the happiest parents on earth.

My life has been full of good and bad luck

Nevertheless I continue to truck

Another year older, a new ache and pain

My deterioration I can't seem to contain

But I will not give in, I will accept my fate

Just trying to appreciate how full my plate.

I'll blow out the candle on my vegan cupcake

Make a wish that my future voyage is sweet and I'm ahead of my wake
