As I twirled around

In the sunshine

Yesterday

And took in

The crystal clear

Blue sky

I thought to myself

What a beautiful day to turn 31

Breezy

But not too cold

Sun shining

But not too hot

The grass and trees

Extra green

Nature showing off

Its splendor

As if just to me

It was one of the few times

In forever

That it didn't rain on my birthday

The clouds had decided to sleep through

My special day

And not appear

The color of the blueness

Above me

Was almost

As if

Made from watercolors

Unreal

I basked in the delights

As the trees gently

Whispered their secrets

All around me

Waving their

Large branches

Swaying to the

Beat of the soft

Autumn wind

My special day

Has always been

The beginning of fall

And indeed it was

Bright, sunny, breezy

Full of life, light, calm

Peace, hope, future

What a beautiful day to turn 31
