Reminders

Candle lights go out in a blow
to set off the party event in a go,
knife in hand I slice the icing, 
all faces around turn on their grin,
the flow of red cream in slow motion
seemed to dance to a song in commotion,
the dainty bite that I took in
let my heart speak out from within;
Birthdays are Reminders
to Thank LIFE for all it offers,
Birthdays are Reminders
to offer LIFE one’s Prayers.

This is good poem, Sathya. They are reminders to be thankful, especially the older one gets.
