So many birthdays came
some happy some with sorrow,
she saw her life move by
still wishing for new morrows.
This morning she woke up
to face a brand-new day,
today she is sixty-seven
and here is what she says:
I traveled through the years
to see so many changes,
despite the many tears
my heart with love still rages.
I stumbled and I fell
and got up to continue,
for life is but a tale of
many rings and venues.
The wishes that were given
so many years ago,
are dreams in which I live in
of hopes to reap and sow.
Who knows what will be|
just around the bend,
there are so many routes
to reach the promised land.
With vigor in the heart
and hope for better morrows,
today is a brand-new start
to fly above the laurels.
Collect the memories
and string them one by one,
then tie them in a wreath
and lay them in the sun.
The past has passed and gone
the future lays out there,
today is what we have
to be the most and share.
Today I am sixty-seven
my bushels are a flow,
today I am still alive
let’s sing and dance and glow.

Happy 27th birthday Kira !!!! wishing you the best 😀
Twenty-eight May.
In summer,
Flowers scent,
Insects hum,
And the sun is shining.
In autumn,
The leaves are golden,
At the foot of the trees,
Masters of nature.
In winter,
Swirls the snow,
Line our floors,
Joys of Christmas.
In the spring,
Twinkle the stars,
And their magic powder,
Have hatched the queen.
Twenty-eight May,
They panicked,
Divine creation,
Of your being enchanted.
They taught you to dance,
To make the planet shine,
There you are, a star dancer,
Like a fairy tale.
Happy birthday very dear star dancer. 💞⭐💞
May your day be divine and full of sun. 🌞⭐🌞
