Happy Birthday, Happy Birthday to you

Happy Birthday to my darling heart,

I love you always, for all of eternity

I love you even when we are apart.

***

Wherever you are, I hope you are happy

Surrounded by special people who care,

Spoiling you today, especially today

This momentous date that they share.

***

You are forever in my loving thoughts

On days like today, you are even more,

I have to believe life has been good

Or has it made you even up the score?

***

I wish you many lifelong blessings

To be showered upon you every day,

Love, light and happiness for you

All good, no bad, to come your way.

***

I often wonder if you ever did find

The elusive you’ve been searching for,

I don’t believe you ever knew what

It was that you wanted to score.

***

Tell me just once, were there any regrets

Were you sorry for the part you played,

If you could reverse your choices

Would you be any happier today?

***

Happy birthday my love, my heart

Birthdays are a good day for reflecting,

The past, the present and the future

Are there any areas you may be neglecting?

***

For the last time today, Happy Birthday

I give the freedom of my thoughts today,

I remember, I reminisce, I dwell, I love

But tomorrow I’ll pack my thoughts away.

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
