Happy Birthday To Me! ! ! Poem by G. Akanji Olaniyi

Happy Birthday To Me! ! !

Rating: 5.0


Happy birthday to me! ! !
Hearty gratitude for all God had done for me
Even though the whole world look down on me
I care little; it is nobody, but just me

The journey had been very long
Almighty had kept me going strong
Now, I know where I belong
So, I do not need to say too much to prolong

Life is ridden with ups and downs
Many are happy and they turn to clowns
If you are sad, do not show frowns
It may not compare with yours; I have been to many towns

Now, this is a milestone
Not just as simple as counting many a stone
A look on the story of the black stone
Rejected and later became the cornerstone

God, shower your mercies and blessings on me
Even though you have been there all this while for me
You should never stop all the good things you have been doing for me
As I say again: Happy Birthday to me! ! !
