Another Undeserved Birthday

Another year older no balder – 
	dash,
Wishing I could write my life ('s)
        perfect poem before I
        pass
Out of this world to the other 
	side, 
While dreaming of my mother 
	And can’t wait to
        fly.
One more circle around the old solar
       disk
And it won’t be long before I’m not forgetfully 
       missed.  
Not that I’ve done momentous things
       Deserving of remembrance too sad to
       sing
But only that I’m still here today, thankfully 
       having another undeserved birth 
       day.
