THE BEST BIRTHDAY I EVER HAD

The best birthday I ever had,
was the one when I was born,
not expected to live past 3
have a child or walk

at least, that’s what my parents were told

The best thing about this day is I survived
and thrive still today

able to do things that most others dream
able to be someone I myself never thought I’d be

I have grown and become someone
who others can admire and most

Do love.

The very best thing about my birthday
is that I live to see another
come what may
