Another Year
My
birthday
joy brings sweet
treats of cake and
ice cream, loving smiles
warm me as well wishes
abound. The flames burn brightly
as they flutter and twinkle and
my happiness shows as I wish a
wish on each of them and blow them all out.
As one by one they fizzle my life flicks
before me, each season but a frame,
in this film, I'm the star, but the
celluloid images fade
into distance, like each
grain in an hour glass,
moments slip past
me and my
flame burns
out.
