BirthDay...

Woke up early that morning
To find the sky a deep grey blue
It looked liked it was going to rain,
And I dreaded going to school.

It was a day like no other,
a birthday was its name
So why did God had to go make it pour,
and make it such a bother?



And so I sulked, and I pout,
as i moved my butt about.
Somewhere a little voice whispered,
"Count your blessings, not your grouse"
But I ignored it and left the house.


At school I was late
which meant I had to wait,
til the class had a break.

As I sat at the bench,
I began to ponder
about all my friends.

"Do they care?"

"Do they even know I'm there?"

And a tiny voice answered,
"Of coz they do! You always knew!
Feel the love with your heart. It's more than meets the eye."

I decided to give it a try.

Just as I started to open my heart's gate,
Out pops my friend in red.
All smiles and bouncing cheery
With a book to make me happy!

The next friend I greet,
Offered a bag for me to keep.
Cookies baked with love and care,
more than enough to fill a bear!

I was convinced by my inner voice,

and I knew I had a choice.

Good or bad this day might be,

It was all up to me!

It didn't just stop there,
As I became more aware.
Alas! Something more was BreWing
I was led, unassuming


"Surprise! Surprise!
They all yelled.

Love overflowing was what I felt.


Joy on my right,
Friends on my left.
Laughter in front,
Pardon the pun


Surrounded by the people
Who have known me
Eversince the beginning
Of my journey...





It was then I realised,
That in all my twenty-one years,
My friends are the ones who light up the pages,
In the Story Of My Life.

I may not have found the "special" someone to take care of me yet,

but I know I can count on these people to be there for me and look after me.

These friends are God's "special" way of taking care of me afterall. =)

Thank you all for being part of this birthday!

I Love You All !!!
