It's My Birthday Poem by Okoronkwo Jonathan Jackson

Today rings in me the sound of jubilation
Come join the train of my dance
Come let's jubilate
Do not sit and speculate
Come with me celebrate
And the groove enjoy

It's my birthday borne in passion
Thy dancing shoes never untie the lace
We shall merry
But never go folly
Rejoicing in the givens of the One Holy
While His grace and mercy we employ

Great and small alike, come take thy position
Do not set thy feet to race
For it's no time to sorrow
Let the happiness over, fill thy marrow
Upon the joyous barrow
To see the dancing birthday boy

Follow the celebration
For I have set the pace
Drink and dine
Feel thyself with wine
But gently let thy soul in line
To never let thy folly deploy

It's my banquet
I shall celebrate
It's my birthday
I shall dance
No more to cry for lack
Come thy launch take
For there's enough for thy diinner
To fill thy ban.
