A Happy Burthday Wish
May 18th its a special day
A day of fun, food, drink and play
Grill is going, the whole yards loud
Only the true friends in the crowd
Hennessy poured with no hesitation
Along with some great conversation
Everyone’s ready their cups are full
Laughter rises, all fun its never dull
Another year added, but I wear it with pride
Every scar, every win, every twist of the ride
Toast to the lessons, the lows and my climb
See I’m still here, it’s my time to shine
So when this night fades as candles burn low
I’ll hold onto this feeling, let it breathe slow
May 18th yeah it’s more than a date
It’s another year I celebrate
My story ain’t perfect, but it’s honest and true
Every page got a piece of what I went through
I used to write chapters heavy with strain
But this one is warm, like sunlight after rain
I look at the ink of this moment I own
Realizing I’ve never been writing alone
Life held the pen even if I couldn’t see
It kept spelling out “you’re meant to be”
So I don’t rush this page, I just let it breathe
Let the joy settle in everything I receive
Because this isn’t time passing through
May 18th…it’s a new chapter, for me becoming new
