Another Birthday

My birthday has arrived again
I thank God for another year.
I've had many happy days
But, I've also wiped a tear.

Many new and special friends
I've met throughout the year.
I treasure all the friendships
And will always hold them near.

Oh, yes, I'm one year older.
Some "parts" sure show their ages.
But, right now, my mind is working
So I'll keep on adding pages.

Everybody everywhere
seeks happiness, it's true.
But finding it and keeping it
seem difficult to do -
And yet it's very simple
if we do our daily part
In accepting everything life brings
with an understanding heart -
And in making others happy,
you will be happy, too,
For the happiness you give away
returns to shine on you.
