BIRTHDAY BLUES 2014 – 1: CELEBRATING NEW BEGINNINGS

I surely don’t believe
in celebrating my birthdays
though I do celebrate
the birthdays of others
including that of my family members
in copious words that appear as  verse.
Those birthdays surely remind me
that I going further down the road
far away from the day of my birth
and I am also getting worse
for the physical wear and tear
does make me fear
the impending end as I know it.
I do have a lot more stories to write
and poems to recite
as well as three children to raise
but then I also do realise
that I need not fear
for the one who got me this far
will certainly help me raise the bar
and live some more
suns, moons and a star.
I therefore now celebrate
Not a day or the end of a year
but a new beginning for sure
