Hi Sankey, this is a fun poem on a birthday star. It sounds like a fun party and always nice when someone lights up the room with their presence.

Thanks friend. Think you might be a new friend. Appreciate you coming by. I was inspired to write this from a young lady who is a Missionary's daughter in Romania. It was her 16th last year and she actually shared it with one of her friends who also turned 16 that day. Should have put that photos on.

You're welcome. Yes, I don't think I've read your work before. Nice to meet another fellow believer! It's not too late to post the pics yet, if you want.

There are a few believers on FS. I think they are the only reason I try and hang on in here. Not sure how long you have been around. Stuff happens in here. Maybe God is keeping me here for a reason?? Should be a Fan of ya I guess. Check out my Autobiography "The Little Dog That Wouldn't Let Go- subtitle GOD NEVER LETS GO!"

Hi Kurisu are you new on FS? No problem but I thought seeing you liked my poem how come only a four. Usually less than a "five" means something wrong with the poem. Maybe you made a mistake? I have sometimes accidentally given a low rating and had to go back and fix it later for some of my very good friends. Thanks for coming by.

Aging is a process that few looks forward to. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read. There is very good imagery.

It is a shame when someone cannot rejoice in the celebration for others, at their birthdays, weddings or job promotions. Patricia

I can't imagine why anyone would be gloomy at someone else's birthday party. The have been invited to share this passage is an honor. Nice little poem reminding us on appropriate attitude for one of our social customs.

Thanks Sis appreciate you coming by. Have seen the gloom and doom on anyone else but the 'birthday star' as I have alled them many times. They always forget it will be their turn to be the star soon.

Here, people who hog the limelight are referred to as drama queens or drama kings.

reply by the author on 07-Dec-2016

yeah sounds right but if it is their birthday it is only once a year huh!

reply by seaglass on 09-Dec-2016

I try to ignore my birthdays now days.

I do think there is a Godly mystery in birth. A man is born on the 5th of July. his son born on the 5th of August 38 years later. . Amazing resemblance. LOL. .

Sankey, you are so right. We should rejoice with friends on their
birthday and help them with their special celebration. A good
message; especially for children who might get jealous.

Hello Geoff,
Very well said my friend. The birthday spot light moves through the group giving each individual a chance to shine. Special are those that can support the joy of the individual to intensify that light rather than just waiting their turn.

You are a lucky man getting invited to young ladies' birthday parties. I would certainly wear a smile if I were to get such an invitation. What on earth was wrong with the rest of them? Too young to know or too old to care?

Hi there the young lady was in Romania I was not there sady=ly. But this was in reference to her and all her brothers and Sisters looking glum. But I thought it was precious she shared her birthday with her best friend a Romanian girl.
