Another birthday approaches
Another year added to the notches of your body
But ignore all that negativity over aging
You got more to celebrate
Today you started as a miracle
It doesn't matter how you were received
Because to God you are a beautiful gift
And every year since you arrived
It's a time to remember all the treasures
That have come your way
A chance to honor all those pieces
Making up the being that is you
Your obsession with chocolate
Probably not healthy, but it makes you smile
Your love of car rides
And singing loudly, yet badly, to good music
Unfold the map of life
Honor every mile
See how far you've come
The passengers you've picked up
Hikes in the cow patty field
Tater loving dogs
The old high school fight songs
Your ever patient soul family
Your favorite Chinese Restaurants
Today laud all your lines and curves
Your good parts and mistakes
Turn the music up
Belt it out loud
Be thankful in every breath
Celebrate God's gift in that He gave you another year
