Burns Night Baby
January the 25th is Burns Night
I was born then, it gave my parents sheer delight
But all these years on all I can say
Is I’m 21 again on every birthday.
This year was so special I do not know why
I was treated by friends, I am still on a high
Lots of lovely gifts and cards for me
Flowers and chocolates, it filled me with glee
Some scented confetti to put in my tub
Hand cream and lotion on my body to rub
Chocolate Liquer cherries they are such bliss
And chocolate penguins I just wanted to kiss
Two more orchids for my collection
A hand bag, a necklace - simple perfection
Some clothes to make me feel so great
With all this chocolate I must lose some weight!
Then off for a meal with my lovely hubby
I was simply as happy and can be
And meeting with friends really made my day
I felt so at relaxed is all I can say
The past few months have been so hard
My husband’s illness was not on the cards
So maybe now I can relax and chill
And try and forget he was so very ill
Cherish those you love, as life is too short
Enjoy every day and give others your thought
My birthday has passed by and was such fun
And I cannot wait for another one
