Birthday

It was on this day that I saw first light
Only a couple of day before I can gain sight
A sight that would be an influence to my being
A motivation that drives and compliments my doing

Every day is new and I can’t stop learning
Learning that life will not always be what we yearning
But instead it is what you make it to turn out
Like a chef on a signature dish, you have to do it more than once

It is not always roses and peaches with nectar sweet
That attracts the birds and the bees
But it is a never ending dig just so one gets that ounce
It was on this day that I had a sudden realization
A realization that life has no hesitation
The only hesitation is when one is not true about life
