A Special Day

When I was younger,
Everything was fun and games.
No responsibilities,
It was like I always hit the aims.
I grew, grew and grew,
But nothing changed.
Everything was still fun,
Until one day, something finally arranged.
School was starting!
Very different from before.
But I learnt along the way,
How to adapt, and how to explore.
But now I am older,
Much more things to do.
Responsibilities galore!
But there is one thing I have to tell you.
It is my birthday!
Glowing and gleaming
A new year once again,
I’m so happy, I feel like I’m beaming!
Treat your birthday
Like a lump of clay,
Make whatever you want out of it,
For this special day.
