Today Is My Birthday Poem by Hebert Logerie

Today Is My Birthday



Today is my birthday,
I decided to be a little lazy today.
I woke up very late this morning,
I vacuumed, I did some cleaning.
I made my breakfast.
I made a nice omelet very fast.
While eating, I watched a few TV programs,
For about two hours. I am now a few grams
Heavier, I mean a few pounds heavier.
I was going to the gym to make me stronger,
But I decided against that activity.
I wanted to be a little lazy,
To relax, to enjoy the day, and to chill;
I did not want to kill
Myself today.
When it is your birthday,
You should take it easy.
I listened to a few songs of Sinatra,
A few melodies of Nat King Cole.
I had a tiny glass of vodka.
I kicked, for a short time, my soccer ball.

At my age, I feel very young;
I am still happy and strong.
I enjoy life tremendously.
I thank God daily,
I count my blessings, not my failures.
I cherish my victories and use my shortcomings
As powerful lessons, to challenge the adventures
Ahead. Thank God, I have had many good mornings
And many great evenings; I am praying for more.
I also thank my friends that I love forever more.
I pray for the weak and ask God to end man's miseries;
I also pray for my enemies.
Don't kid yourself, you have some too,
They are invisible, they are cuckoo;
They are everywhere looking at you.
So far, it has been a wonderful day,
Even though, the sky is gray,
And it is intermittently raining;
However, in my heart, the sun is shining.
Today is a day to ponder, to relax,
To enjoy and to ignore the sneaky fox.
I am enjoying my day and please do the same,
Relax and enjoy the other days as well.
I wish you well, stay away of the deadly well;
I promise you that I will do the same.
I am waiting to have a magnificent night,
To listen to more classy melodies,
To see the sun, in my dream, at midnight;
And to thank God for all the amenities.
Today is my birthday,
I am really lazy today.
