108. A Birthday

Excitement exploded and filled the air
A birthday celebration had arrived
Balloons and presents and candles so bright
Eyes filled with sparkles and smiles not to hide
A year has passed since the last great event
It’s amazing how fast they come and go
No matter how young or old we get
We yearn for a cake with candles to blow
So on this special day for you and all
When laughter and merriment fill the air
Set aside all your problems and concerns
And return to those younger days without a care
For hidden inside is our little child self
Who desires to be joyous and play
A birthday party is all that really matters
As we celebrate just you today!
