BIRTH DAY

BIRTH DAY

Wake, as your better days are due to start
No more rest, whether wicked or benign
Life begins and ends with your beating heart

For weeks, breast and lips never far apart
As a single grape still clinging on the vine
Wake, as your better days are due to start

One day your growing brain will be smart
Imbued with love both personal and divine
Life begins and ends with your beating heart

Genes and the world will each play a part
Maturing into either a bitter or sweet wine
Wake, as your better days are due to start

But ignore whoever throws that final dart
All the years ahead will be following a sign
Life begins and ends with your beating heart

As any other being, you are a work of art
It’s written that your soul will always shine
Wake, as your better days are due to start
Life begins and ends with your beating heart
