A girl from small town
A poet, a joker, a nosey clown
Runs around and laughs out loud
For she is thankful for the beautiful
day
The blooming colors
The entwined garlands
The warmth and the chill in the air
Makes it a perfect day
A day she longs to remember
Through the year
A day she hopes will last
Through the year
A day she was born on
A day she wishes to live in
Forever
A day which is red, green and blue,
A day which is yellow, orange and
brown
It is her birthday
Birthday of a girl from small town
No big parties,
No big gifts
She hopes for just
Small little bliss
Her friends,
Her family,
Her town
Around her
With her
Her world wrapped
In her world
Cheerful with smiles galore
Singing loudly
Rocking the floor
On her birthday
On my birthday
What more could I ask for
Small little moments of joy
On my birthday
For I am a just a girl
From a small town

ReplyDeleteHey! I'm late to this celebration! AS I read, I see myself growing up country and happy for my day. I sure hope this is not just a small town thing, though the lack of materialism signifies something out of the mainstream (or at least life without much TV). Love it!
