BIRTHDAY

They forgot my birthday, I thought it was a joke, I waited all day for the big moment. 
I sat and waited for the cake, but they never made the cake or said happy birthday. 
I was about 9, when they forgot, they must have had more important things on their mind. 
Birthdays are important and we like to feel loved, so for all that have had their birthday forgotten I say Happy Birthday to all. 
Life will test us, it will do things we can never imagine, we will wonder if this is some kind of test. 
Forgetting us in ways and times, can make us feel down, so you need to know that you are not alone. 
Birthdays and events will come and go, but you always have yourself to love and care for you, like an artist makes mistakes we learn from all the cracks in life, so fill them in with love and care. 
So, celebrate today and all your days, love yourself, forgive, and make yourself number one, and never let anyone take you down. 
Lifting prayers to God, today and always
