Birthday, through it comes only once a year, is amongst the most special days in the life of a person. On this particular day, he is blessed with loads of best wishes and gets a lot of gifts. The poem 'Birthday' revolves around the celebration that forms a major part of a birthday party. The author, Joanna Fuchs, says that all the glitter and ceremony of a birthday party don't matter as much as the person for whom the celebration is taking place. Still, a person who fills lives of others with happiness and joy and fun surely deserves a jovial and fun-filled birthday party. Go through the following lines and explore the meaning of the poem fully.
Birthday
As we observe your birthday now,
Your cake and gifts don't matter much.
These common things aren't really you,
Ribbons, paper hats and such
We celebrate a person who
Brings happiness to everyone,
Someone who gives more than she gets,
And fills our lives with joy and fun
So Happy Birthday and many more!
We hope you make it to a hundred and two,
Because we cannot even dream
What life would be like without you!
