aashka thakkar - Birthday Blessings

Instead of counting candles
Or tallying the years
Contemplate your blessings
As your birthday comes.

Consider special people
Who love you, care for you
Others, who have enriched your life
Just by being there.

Think about the memories
Which you like the most
And memories, press
That have made you who you are

Another year, a special gift
Cut your cake and say
'I don't count birthdays
I count blessings everyday'.
