Birthdays

 

Have you ever,

Seen anything,

From the inside out,

 

Did you ever look into a mirror,

Until,

What was well known,

Became totally strange,

 

On this day of your beginning,

Do you know,

What it is you are about,

 

Isn’t this the special time

When you want –

To know your past,

To see your future,

To hear your feelings,

To know where you are.

 

Not that you would need to ever change,

You’re just right the way you are,

But,

You would be open to change,

If change

Just happened to be needed,

You could and you would change,

Or would you.

 

If you look at yourself,

Long and deeply,

You will discover,

Where you’ve been,

What you’ve done,

When you did or did not do it,

Isn’t as important,

As,

Who you are now,

Where you are now,

What you are now,

And,

Tomorrow,

Depends on today.
