Birthday

Tonight the stars are in my eyes Tomorrow comes as no surprise In the morning when I rise Another years has slipped me by... It marks the day of my first breath Don't know how many I have left But each heartbeat in my chest Has given me a chance at best... So I thank the lord upon my knees He speaks to me within a breeze And before I start my day It's him I want to hear me say... I'm grateful for so many dawns And any seed I may have spawned Cuz after I am dead and gone It's thru my children I live on...
