A "Warm-N-Cozy" Greeting




It was my birthday
But did you remember me
As you opened your gifts
From below the Christmas tree

I waited for mine
But there came very few
I gave you my life
But what did I get from you

I asked for your love
But did you give me a thought
The gift of your heart
For it I have sought

It was my birthday
But did you set me a place
At your dinner table
Or mention me in grace

Eating and drinking
You took from my store
Then you left me standing
Outside your closed door

On your first birthday
I give you living breath
And every day since
I have blessed you with my wealth

You take all my gifts
And none in return will you give
Caring not I died for you
So eternally you could live

But I was not even a guest
At your celebrations yesterday
And I do not understand why
After all; it was MY BIRTHDAY!

Colin Moffet
