Poem

Its my birthday every day just because I awoke to see another day 
a new breath an extra hour beneath my belt, I am God's living ray 

Defying all odds I am still here stumping the experts with my drill  
dancing in the sunlight like a dervish mendicant ascetic, no pills; 

I remember being six and blowing out the candles on my frosty cake 
mamma asked me sweetly to make a wish before the first snowflake 

I wished to live forever so I could find the secret of a well lit firefly 
and summer after summer I watched them as they lit up the sky 

It is my birthday today, every hour succinct to the next I like it this way 
twirling like a wild baton in a parade I bang my drum and I sing all day 

A new breath an extra hour beneath my belt, I am God's special girl 
a Mystic soul that refuses to lay down and die, while the stars unfurl 

I'll lay on the freshly mowed lawn and watch the stars shine from on high,  
while I recall mamma's birthday cake and the fireflies that once lit up the sky.
