Birthday scrapbook

Birthdays of annual pomp and blessings

of marching musical brass bands in ensemble

and delectable biscuit cakes in the fridge

Birthdays of perennial miracles and grace

 

Hors-d’oeuvre and a thousand treats

favors to return in magical bags

gladness of games and streaming balloons

Birthdays of annual pomp and blessings

 

Tunes to sing and songs to hum

presents galore and candles to curiously blow

gleeful smiles and sparkly spirits that soar

of marching musical brass bands in ensemble

 

in the house of in-toed toddler steps

and the home of doggy patter paws

at clubhouses with awkward boyish strides

and delectable biscuit cakes in the fridge

 

Remember and relish forever

then, the joys of candles bestowed

now, the prayers bough in from the skies

Birthdays of perennial blessings
