Why Celebrate Your Birthday
Listen to poem:
The famous saying is to "Thank God you seen another year
But there's more pains, aches and worries with more tears
Each year you're asking yourself what did i do with my life
Creating a bucket list and trying to make it right
If we're proud of aging then why have a midlife crises
Why do you have to become a senior to get a deal on prices
When you celebrate your birthday its like celebrating death
Losing your health and independence until there's nothing left
When your young it seems fun celebrating getting older
The laughing stops when life starts to feel much colder
We're born and enjoy life never wondering the purpose
This would always be the case because our life is imperfect
With each passing year you should prepare for the worse
Looking at this current generation under this curse
We're made from dust only to return to the ground
How does the song "Happy Birthday" sound to you now?
