Birthdays should be celebrated br To respect the gift of life br And to thank our parents br For bringing us into the world br br Birthdays should be celebrated br So that our children may know br That living to the fullest br Does manifest the elusive meaning of life br br Birthdays should be celebrated br To thank our friends br Who link us to the universe br In an infinite circle of love br br Birthdays should be celebrated br As a carnival of life that marks br The bittersweet passing of time br As we hopefully, grow wiser and more loving!br br Anita Atinabr br
