A wish I give to you

Bookmark
HomePoetryA wish I give to you

I made it a whole 365 days

No one promised me today

or yesterday

I’m sitting here contemplating

as we all do when our day comes back around

I think we all have forgotten

That our true New Year is not when the ball drops

It’s the day we took our first breaths

Over the years, I’ve met and learned

from so many people.

Some lessons were taught

without me signing up for it

When I ask people

Do you celebrate your birthday

I got the same answer

It is just another day

Not my day

It’s important that I remember to breathe

It is important that I remember to believe

And it is important to see what no one else can see

So, on my birthday

I wish

I wish for you to remember it is not just another day

You have gotten a chance to

Open your eyes

smile

cry

laugh

rage

speak

think

thank

Love

And so many other things

We were put here for a reason

An individual reason

That’s what I sit here and think about

As I blow out this candle for another year.

So, on my birthday

I wish you all a happy day

    1. Happy Birthday, dear Fia! 💐♥️
      Thank you for reminding us to undertake the journey through life mindfully, with your beauti- and meaningful poem! I think we all have signed up for the positive and for the hard experiences, too. Especially the hardships, when we have to leave our comfort zone, teach us the most important lessons. May you master the learning tasks the new year of your life presents you, with ease, and welcome the good times gratefully, full of joy and happiness!
      Blessings of love and light! 💕🕯️

    2. You mean you get older??? You don’t age! LOL.
      Happy Bday Fia. Thanks for sharing your joy and wisdom with us! I wish you the best of health and well being throughout this year. And keep kicking butt!

    3. Chère F.,
      Too late to be fashionably late, this must come across as downright lazy. It’s not intended this way. If still OK: congratulations to you! In the Netherlands we kiss three times on the cheek. Be prepared for this. 50% more at no extra cost!!!

      I used to be in the category of ignoring my birthday, but a beautiful friend on Hawaii taught me to celebrate the day of ‘another time around the sun‘ as they call it there. ANd since then I do, celebrate it in a small way.

      So I’ll try and be present in time next year!
      Warm regards, Gus
