Analysis of Happy Birthday
Happy Birthday
By Moses Seiber
So blessed of a day,
Felt upon such as this,
Of memories on and on,
To be of never to miss,
Of which I was given,
The greatest ever known,
Creation of one to be,
The truly best painting ever shown,
Of these ones coming together,
To give the lessons deeply needed,
From days learned to walk,
To knowing of when and not to keep it,
Of ones giving the feel,
To push and never stop,
And to reach for above,
What's over what others think to not,
These ones who kept the light,
When darkness was of my caught,
And showed there was a reason,
For why my life was fought,
Which is why I say these words,
Even though I'm not your first,
But, to life this is the time,
Of when you gave me birth,
So happy Birthday to you,
For your being these ones for I,
To have as Mother and Father,
Along with the True FATHER up High.
Happy Birthday To YOU.
Written for my parents mom, dad and FATHER on July 29, 2020 for the birth of parenthood for me.
