MY Birthday Song

When the sky meets the earth
With the goodness of the drop
The drop with the "plop"

Nothing seems so beautiful
Nothing seems so true
True with its blue

This day was I born Born
In the light of the moon
The moon Smiled and blessed
Said "dear , you are going to be true"

True like the rain which falls
Washing away all the dirt from thy heart
Like it smells on fresh mud

Mud , which makes you feel
Home
Down to be the one
You were born

Born like a princess
With crystals in your eyes
And soft velvet in your skin
And a heart of gold

The Rain said
"Dear , be caring and nice
loving and dear
Sacrifice
when needed to do so"

The moon also gave me
Some tests to complete
Said "dear , how will you pass this life if you don't prove to be alive?"

And the moon drench me with its rain
As I forever slept in its arm
Wit closed eyes
And a warm heart

Heart which still beats today
As I grow older a year
A year again to complete

So on this day
I thank the Moon the Rain Thank you
For making me feel alive Once again !
