Birthday 22 November…. Poem by Sylvia Frances Chan
Birthday 22 November….
BirthDAY 22 November….
it's been raining for weeks
every day it hit
the wind is bleak, the rains of rain never stop
associations with the Noah era
what if the water keeps rising?
It is not yet winter and we have no monsoon rain habits
but the rains keep coming
because we have winter soon
it's oh so bleak and cold weather
where does nature go?
the rains never stop
the surface of my house has become muddy
It also rains at night
that was a fact until yesterday
but today the sun has appeared
from early in the morning until midday
what the best weather!
The sun and its rays shine so extremely
it gives its warmth to heal the earth
How blessed I feel
especially TODAY the sun gives its rays full of passion
Do you know what I know about today's atmosphere?
God blesses me on my DAY of birth
so much sunshine
after so many weeks and weeks of gloomy weather and rains
with so much cold of coldness
and TODAY I celebrate my birthday
with so many blessings and warmth that come from God
the first day with sunshine and sun rays
and that is also my date of birth
God blesses the earth
thank you, dear God
I interpret today
as I have received from you
your greatest blessings
a day full of rays
you have let the sun shine
here in my hometown, how pleasant!
dear Lord, as you know
I always count my blessings
I always write them down
and show them to people
tonight is the first night
that I don't hear the raindrops falling
weeks and weeks of rain
and only today
the sun's rays woke me up
ah, my birthday!
thank you, dear God,
I want to say this out loud!

For dear Kostas continued: That was truly a sunny day and finest weather for me and I thanked God for that. I KNOW that are Great Blessings from God. As my gratitude to God, I created this poem. You are of course very right with your comment: A sign of hope on my birthday. Thank YOU for your precious comment, but having the sun especially on my BirthDAY after weeks of dreary days and rains, I feel the Greatest Blessings from God.
Sunshine after the rain. A sign of hope on a birthday. Great poem
Thank you so much, Kostas, your words are precious. We have had many rains for weeks, weeks and weeks, chilly weather, cold temperatures, but on my BirthDAY since very early, the sun was shining all day long and very many sunrays. I regard that as Great Blessings from God.

Thank you so much for your ardent BirthDAY comments and precious visit to my poem site included your valuable compliments. I feel flattered, dear Frank, all these warm wishes coming from a poet like you, my old pal from PF, I am happy to discover that you are here too. G.B.U.
A beautifully written poem full of gratitude to the Lord. Gratefulness is a wonderful attribute of children of God. With the many blessings that the Lord has given to us, it is our duty to obey His rules and thank Him of all the blessings He has endowed to us.

Lord, really knows those who love him so much and you are one of them and blessed you with great weather on the eve of your birthday.
