Ah, leave it to the great poets like yourself to explain what we really feel, or should feel about birthdays.
Here's how I feel about friends like you and your birthdays today:
Because of what you've written and I've read, my world is better; I see the world even clearer with the addition of your lens as you view the world and the people I know and love.
Today, I honor you for what you have given me. I'm so grateful that you're in my life.
Happy Birthday!!!!!! Congratulations on achieving this milestone in your life.
