happy birthday!

even if it was yesterday
the other day
yet to come
or closter to the past

why wait for the future?

effort to be present
give a present
be pleasant
remain present

why wait until now to here?

happy
perhaps not so
excited during the years we grow
later blamed for losing our glow

Do we gain more light as our candles seat an increasing inferno?

taking in treats
food most savoury
food most sweet
the often savour speaks sweet

they sometimes make that effort on the birthday meet

gifted
blessed
often self inflicted with stress
whilst others cut slack

this is the day others are more likely to have your back

like it
or not
this is a beautiful time slot
love from near and far

why scatter such energies such a distance apart?
