A Modest Birthday Wish


Today I become another year older Another year stronger and wiser I have the choice to grow warmer or colder As a paragon or a miser We are all free, in this fashion To make our own choices We decide how to display our unique passion And when to raise our voices Each and every single day Is an opportunity to try something new To fulfill our dreams in many a way And to try not just to "say", but also to "do" So I ask myself, "What can I do now?" What have I not improved before? What brings all evils down low? Something that need be present so much more I speak, of course, of love for one another Such that can manifest in so many ways From a friend to a lover, a sister to a brother Love that will last all of our days It can solve so many issues Right so many wrongs, put smiles on many places Can rid the world of hatred and abuse In both the richest and poorest of places So, if I had one wish upon this day I wish for everyone to give Love a chance Especially in these days, dark and grey Learn to play life's music, and dance its dance So ERRYBODY LOVE ERRYBODY Try to walk a mile in someone else's shoes It would be the greatest gift to me To see the sun rise through the world's cold, stormy blues I wish, I wish upon a star That people young and old, near and far Read this tale and take to heart And just try his or her best to do their part #Peace #Love #Music #Swag
