ON BIRTHDAYS
A birthday is one event
when one should feel
grateful by the life --
the life given by God.
contemplate then and
begin to wonder,
why God is so generous
to lend you the precious breath --
the breath you're privileged to own.
ah, He loves you so,
such wonderful and sublime reason.
with folded knees,
and with praises on your lips,
a fitting sight to thank the Giver --
the Giver of life and birthdays.
thank you for your reflection on this. i have a birthday coming up and yes, should be thankful. along w/that, there is fear of living purposefully and well.
I love the shape of this writing, rightward. Very aesthetic.
A religious poem :). But it's true, when you don't celebrate birthdays anymore, you're dead LOL. Yeah, it's a sign of life. I'm anticipating my birthdays even though I'm growing old every time it comes :(.
