It’s your birthday? Forget the cake and cheers.
Let’s slice up a piece of life and dive into the tease.
No fancy decor can match the warmth we bring,
Just us, sharing secrets like agents in a fling.
In a world of chaos, everything blurs outside,
Oh, how I would rant through my rage on a long, tiring night.
Pouring out struggles, sharing troubles and delight,
You listen, filling my heart with warmth and ease, my guide.
Yet in our childhood, those sun-soaked, endless days,
We chased each other like fireflies, lost in playful ways.
I can't imagine us as adults, so far from that sense,
For the mini-version of ourselves lingers in my brain.
The special bond we share, I know, others must see.
Sisters often bicker, but we let it be.
While they fight and criticize, we just go with the flow.
Who needs a party when we can roam the aisles,
Pretending to be food critics, savoring snacks with smiles.
Sewage Breath’s Birthday Wish
On his 21st birthday,
Sewage Breath made a wish.
And to his great shock it came true in the depths of the sewers that smelt like and piss and fish.
In there he bumped into an abandoned Sewage Woman named Trish.
In love they fell. They really did.
Enjoyed each other’s ugly, worrying, strong sewage breaths they did.
One year late they wed
and had a kid.
The kid they loved.
They named him Tad.
He’d worse sewage breath
than they had.
A HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISH FOR YOU
FROM A PLACE WATERFRONT AND OCEAN BLUE SWEET SENSATION SO ALIVE
BLESSINGS FROM GOD, INSPIRED TO REVIVE
THANKFUL FOR ANOTHER YEAR
LESSER AND LESSER ARE MY FEARS
SMILING EXCITEDLY AT THE UPCOMING NEW DICOVERIES PREPARING MY MIND, BODY, AND SOUL FOR ANOTHER OF MY MANY RECOVERIES
I SHALL CONTINUE TO FOLLOW THE ARROWS AS I BLOW OUT THIS YEAR'S CANDLES
OFF I GO ON YET ANOTHER EXHILARATING JOURNEY.....HAPPILY HOLDING ON TO THE HANDLES
As I observe another birth
I wonder why the nations rage
alas, I've reached that seasoned age
when all I want is peace on earth
I made a birthday wish one night
while blowing out my candles' light.
I wished my dad would let me get
a dog to keep as my own pet.
I looked for four-leaf clovers too
in hopes my wish would then come true.
On first stars of each night I made
the same wish, and of course I prayed!
The Christmas after I turned eight,
no longer did I have to wait,
for not just one or two, but THREE
cute dogs I saw beneath the tree.
it was a very big surprise.
I hardly could believe my eyes.
All of my wishing brought to me
three dogs named Billy, Jax, and Lee.
Son, you’ll be 27 today
I just wish the miles
would go away, so I could say
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
in a more personal way
A birthday wish I wish to you.
To have God's Love your whole life through.
A smile to always find its way.
Reflecting always on your face.
Happy Birthday Ashley

Today is your birthday
A day to celebrate you
And think about you
My dear Grandpa
I may not know you
I may have never known you
but Grandpa
you have a special place in my heart
Grandpa today is a day to shout out the words
Happy Birthday Grandpa
This birthday wish is just for you
Here is a wish that speaks true
Warm, happy hours for you and me
Towards tomorrow's brand new
Together with a promise sweet
To the beyond sky high
Many more to multiply
He doesn’t like to socialize, nor does
he laugh at funny shows the way I do.
He suffers chronic pain and frets because
he’s worked so long and hard his whole life through.
We’ve had our ups and downs, and that’s for sure,
but I can overlook the bad. Our love
has grown through many years and will endure
because there’s one thing I am certain of.
My husband’s there for me! Though he may lack
a way with words, much tact or great finesse,
I know deep down – he’ll always have my back.
Each year as we grow greyer, he feels stress.
My birthday wish for him is that he’ll find
contentment and – at last – some peace of mind.

Hey, wanna know something?
Alert!
I love watching the moon,
From the top of the roof,
While it's traveling,
From left to the right
Of my side,
Without getting wearied,
Everynight.
I love the hardship,
Of walking high,
From plan to the hill,
The feel,
That I can feel,
While I finally reach to scene.
I love cold nights,
Where I am all alone,
With no one by my side,
Love the time,
While I am surrounded by my dolls,
Wrapped in my blanket,
And start fights.
I love the hugs,
The kisses, the punches
And the slaps,
From the air,
While I dare to travel in full speed,
With no fear.
Yeah and in those lovely moments,
I miss your presence here.
After such a long break,
Let me tell you once again,
I love you??.
Want you to be here,
In my life,
For now and forever,
For sure.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR BEST FRIEND.
~ Ancient Wisdom: "Age 50 is for giving advice" ~
A man is surely trapped in the jaws of a vice
when he walks down the aisle and they throw the rice
For from that day forth all he hears is advice
All his experienced friends tell him what to do
not to mention all the in-laws he has to listen to
And, of course, the mother and father-in-law
inevitably weight in with their say
on any discussion of the issues of the day
Let's not forget the beautiful bride
Her opinion she makes sure not to hide
She's certainly not just 'along for the ride...'
Yet now that you're 50, the tables do turn
You've suffered enough to really have earned
The right to dispense all the wisdom you've earned
And with that ~ Happy Birthday and Many Happy Returns!
Twenty six today, I saw
the luminous silver moon
make it's way through
the familiar sky that
bends above my head.
Each day I grew enthusiastic
and more credulous about
what lies ahead;
Waiting and hoping to remain
content with the one wish
granted.
And thereupon, a shooting star
In it's enthralling spectacle
A fallen seraphim with
broken wings crowding
my innocence upon
that fading star
Making a wish
To blow it away
into smouldering incense
of a new age.
On William Shakespeare's special day
I would this much like to pray
That future generations find a way
To fill a part of their school days
Midst the wonder of his plays
You'll not understand every word he wrote - OK
But a precious line or two make sure to file away
~ To revisit down the road, on a rainy day
