My Birthday

My birthday will always will always hold special thoughts for me today My dad was also born than eighty-six years later he passed away on the same day As you can tell my memories will always be bitter and sweet My wife will surprise me with dinner out , which is always such a treat Millions of people will share this day with their birthdays throuhout the planet I hope all their wishes when they blow out their candles will be granted What do I want for my birthday is that love will prevail through out our land Or maybe the sun will come out so I can stroll on the beach with its nice warm sand We can only celebrate this special day we entered this world but once a year There is no doubt I look a little older as I look into the mirror I am truly blessed that another birthday has come my way How many I have left no one can say for sure , all I know I am going to really enjoy this special day
