No Birthday Wishes

It’s a day I was born
The 29th of August.
Don’t get me wrong I’m thankful
Truthfully
Its also a day that I forgotten. A little older, I’m still smiling.
No reason in particular I just would like to be thankful. God bless me once again to see this day.
Its ok I don’t need a birthday cake or ice cream with smiley faces.
No surprise party, 
I was already reminded of the day and celebrating
I’m healthy, standing, walking with pride.
No need to make wishes for dreams of my life
I am Alive
No need to scream Happy Birthday I heard you the first time with whispers and politely,  I thank you.
So no birthday wishes for me I’m just thankful.
