Before My Birthday

Before my birthday I sit and stare

I almost run away from human compare.

I remember the ones I've lost

and let me tell you it feels like an additional cost .

Am I a year older

or are the years just getting bolder?

I should be happy I know

I've been blessed many times in a row.

But I can't help but get emotional

so instead I offer my creator a great devotional.

Before my birthday I avoid human interactions ,

because nobody else can offer even a fraction...

A fraction of what my creator has done for me .

Not even a fraction of the pure love he bestows on me.

So...

Before my birthday I need to speak to him first

And after hours of talking he makes sure he quenches my thirst .

I set my goals

so that he can keep me on my soles

and without asking he makes sure to overflow my bowls.

Before my birthday I need to call him

It's cost free ,no minutes needed and unlimited time , the connection is good...

Might as well gather some food.

He'll listen without asking for a dime.

And when I'm done he'll kiss me on my forehead and gently tuck me into bed.

Now I assure you that my soul is always well fed .

Before my birthday .
