Instead of counting candles <br />Or tallying the years <br />Contemplate your blessings <br />As your birthday comes. <br /> <br />Consider special people <br />Who love you, care for you <br />Others, who have enriched your life <br />Just by being there. <br /> <br />Think about the memories <br />Which you like the most <br />And memories, press <br />That have made you who you are <br /> <br />Another year, a special gift <br />Cut your cake and say <br />'I don't count birthdays <br />I count blessings everyday'.<br /><br />aashka thakkar<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/birthday-blessings-3/
