I’ve never been given this task before.
I find it difficult sometimes
to express such sentiments
(You have asked me to though) ,
Maybe it’s that I find it hard
to hold onto hope some days.
It can slip away,
even on joyous occasions.
Today is your day though –
The Day You Were Born,
years ago.
Since then you grew tall,
you learned more –
Like how to pick yourself up,
all by yourself,
every time you fell down.
On this day you tend to be
thankful,
for every person
who has touched your life
however briefly,
however lovingly.
You remember
how interruptions happen to you
while you walk beneath the shadows
of the sun –
You remember
how each person you meet
along the way
shapes you.
Today is your day –
and you should remember those
who love you
and who you love in return.
For today of all days,
stranger I have yet to meet,
I wanted you to know
that you should always remain hopeful –
As I do
on the day I was born,
every year.
Thanking life for giving me hope.
