Happy Birthday To Me
Full and ablaze with luminosity
The November moon hung low
A young couple out for a walk
On this night filled with
crimson and gold leaves
Blanketing a path
Filled with hopes and desires
Stopped to gaze upon the
Star-lit sky
As a shooting star ripped through
The cerulean night they made a wish
Bigger than the universe itself
“Oh Lord, bring us an angel
To love and care for; Give us
The joy we can only dream of”
A wondrous event occurred
Once the couple snuggled deep
Into their bed and dreamed of
God’s greatest gift to humankind
What would their destiny be?
The next day at 10:48 a.m., the
Very day we give Thanks for
All of our blessings; the most
Thankful day ever
A brand new life entered the world
And proclaimed her existence
The couple was beaming proudly
At this little rosy-cheeked bundle
Their bundle of infinite joy
Elation was bursting out of them
As if a dam broke and flooded
The room with their happiness
As tears fell down their jubilant faces
They gratefully exclaimed “Thank You
God, Thank You for bringing us this
Beautiful angel today, November 23rd
The November of our heart
