Birthday Cake
Cream, sugar, sprinkles.
A special treat at least
once a year. A special day.
A very special way to
celebrate life with family,
friends, and no strife. A
day to do whatever one
likes down to entertaining
the tykes. Perhaps have
an open mic for toasts?
Make the most of the
day as all around the
world there are those
who don't reach that age.
It doesn't make one a
sage of wisdom and
learning. Elsewhere, crops are
burning, people go hungry.
War is brewing, stewing.
People re dying and
are not so privileged. Envy
rears its head in the stead
of happiness and peace.
Celebrate life rather than
cause strife, as no one is
better than anyone else.
This is a time to be
grateful. So enjoy a plateful!
