Every Day Should Be That Way Poem by chantelle ribeiro

Another birthday
My special day
Yet I feel so young
Excited about living
Gaining new friends
Having new experiences
To add to my book of life
I've written down your name too
Referencing you as important
In my life
past and present
I have never seen a day
of such wonder
So many mixed emotions
Beautiful blessings bestowed
Missing my father
Smiles and tears in a moment
Pride in myself
For knowing that I make a difference
Somehow
Some way I have touched the lives
of those I didn't know really noticed
Once a year people say
the things to you they never do
Where everyday should be that way
Every thought a dedication
to friendship, hope and love so true
To say to someone - I love you
