The Day I Was Born!

Bright early in the morning

When the Sun sends splashing light

Those newborn rays of hope past peace

I did arise and arrive with brilliance

            and cheerful fanfare

I remember it well

T’was day’s new signal to begin

To start a new and original thought

Wrapped in fresh felt dew

With cool droplets       

            to moisten the earth

A new green protuberance

A blade of grass

Followed by a gay yellow flower

 with bud of leaf growing

Soon to face the sky and play with the wind

 

I will warmly greet the sun

            smiling

And joyfully sing a life-long song

Until I am born anew

In what changed form and when where

Like life itself

That is not now

nor,

Never ever will be known…
