Birthday Blessings
The sun got out of bed
Swam across the ocean
Just to shine on you today
The wind climbed mountains
Endured dusty deserts
Just to blow on you today
The birds organized their orchestra
Traveled to nearby trees
Just to serenade you today
The rain descended high heavens
Bowed at your feet
Just to refresh you today
I join all of nature in wishing you
A blessed birthday today

Such a new and lovely way to say happy birthday, really like it.
Wow! I wish every day was my birthday so that I could read this poem every day. Beautiful!
'The sun got out of bed,
swam across the ocean
just to shine on you today.'
It made me smile, thank you.
I really love the repetitive nature of this poem. It seems to bring me right into the poem, as should happen when a good poet writes. The way you have used nature to pep up the reader is unbelievable and I really enjoyed it. Great write. Lynn
Excellent descriptive poem about nature, nice personifications, lovely to read

A wonderful poem.. nice birthday wish! ! ! !
Cant believe you didnt add this for me to look at....loved your direction...please read my birthday song, i think you may like it :)
your poems are the best
when you right i can see what your writing
when i read this it brought me everlasting joy
You made very nice use of figures of speech. I more often than not enjoy such writing. Short, as I prefer, and skillful. The repetition of ''You today'' was the only mark of defect to me.
awww that soo sweet and just like scarlet it reminds me of spring
