Birthday Attributions

By GIRBERT MAPENGO MWANGUKU Decades on the run I still shine under the sun A soldier so strong I stand Trying to be a hero in my homeland Helping this celebration are mocking birds singing As my ears get fed with jingle bells ringing Grown up; ready to put on rings But still worried about what tomorrow brings Celebrating the day some wished I would die With a big cake on the table about to cut a pie Only one prayer of thanks to God for the life so precious Hoping never to change to become a monster malicious
