Birthday Poem

I thought I'd write a birthday poem And yes, that poem's for me We do not need to count the years I'm still here; it's a blessing, you see. It isn't about the cards and notes Don't get me wrong, I truly love them But I feel so very lucky Each one of you is a special gem. I love my family and my friends They seem to hang in there I have material things as well So many that I really could share. I look back and see that technology Has incredibly advanced Folks believed in something strong Stood fast and took the chance. I spend much time on the Internet There are many pros and cons But for myself, I can truly say It is a place I am extremely fond. I write my poems, I post pictures That I love to gather up and share And really, I truly love to get Birthday messages to show you care!
