What do you think this poem is about?

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

    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

    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.
