On my B'day!

On my birthday
Instead of counting candles,
Or tallying the years,
I Contemplate my blessings now,

Consider special people
Who love me, and who care,
And others who’ve enriched my life
Just by being there.

I Think about the memories
Passing years can never mar,
Experiences great and small
That have made me who I am.

Another year is a happy gift,
So I cut my cake, and say,
"Instead of counting birthdays,
I count blessings every day!"
