Our Life In A Nutshell
Crazy Comes TO Mind
Then as we think more
Thoughts pop faster than fireworks on the Fourth Of July
That can be ideas carried out
Dreams enjoyed for the sake of dreaming
The day goes well and if you could put a label on it
You would say what a perfect day
Then in an instant things suddenly change
Just like eating something delicious
Then you get a hair in your mouth
Where did that come from?
We hope we have a lot more good than bad
There are times it is hard to tell
That is when you have to take a close look around
See your family and friends
They will ground you every time
Time will slip through your fingers faster than a dish covered in oil
There will be times you will never understand
Like a pan filled with bacon grease that just doesn't want to come clean
We try and try and things just don't seem to work
What we have to do is look at years past
See not the time served
Life is so much better than that
Time enjoyed and repeated so often
That it brings us unlimited pleasure and joy
Many pick a favorite holiday they love
It could be Christmas and all the gifts
Maybe it is Thanksgiving spending time with the family
Halloween seeing all the children dressed up and having fun
The Fourth of July celebrating our countries Independence Day
New Years when we finally finish one year and cheering on the next
A sport event where you support your favorite team
So aesthetic when they are in first place
Still rooting for them when they are in last place
Eating your favorite food
For me it is a hot dog or a nice hot slice of pizza
A nice large dish of chicken cutlet parmesan
I can't count all the incredible times I have spent with my wife
Family get together that we have had so much fun
We have to mention all the sad times that helped shape us in the person we are today
That made us stronger and wiser
It all would not mean anything
If it wasn't for the big three
My mom and dad
Who brought me into this world
God who made everything and everyone
Life is a journey we all take
I am thrilled to be on my way
Where it will lead is only a guess
Where I have gone
I am truly blessed
Birthdays come once a year
I am enjoying my fifty- sixth today
The list of people I love to thank
Is endless as the skies I see
So if I was to list them one after another
We would be here for a long,long time
I thought of a better way
To post it in one more of my poems
Thanking everyone at once
To all the hubber's on HubPages who constantly help and support me when I write
Here by my side every morning and all through the day
They don't even stop at night
I am out and about
On with my day
I have thought of a birthday wish
I can not tell
I will give you a hint
When your birthday comes
I hope yours will top mine in every way

Linda Crampton I love birthday wishes and the only thing I like better is seeing other people happy on their special day. I know how good mine has been for so many years I will have those memories forever. I had to work on my birthday but I enjoyed a nice lunch with my wife. Then with a smile on my face it is so easy to go to work. I hope your day was filled with fun and lots of excitement. Thank you so much for reading and sharing.
