With each flickering flame, my years unfold
Tapering down, leaving days of untold
Dripping memories, of past events
Happier times, still I’m not quite content
Candelabra in hand, a welcoming light
The fire, still burning, with no end in sight
Celebrating the day, reaching for more
Wondering what this life has in store
As closer to Halloween, comes the time
Knowing I still haven’t yet reached my prime
So, I’ll blow out the candles, let the wax seal my fate
On this day in October, 2019, twenty-eight
In case you haven’t figured it out, today is my birthday. I originally posted this three years ago and have amended it to reflect this years date. I’m off for the day! See you tomorrow ❤

Yes, you are so right about not rushing things!!! The 30th starts at 7 p.m. for my blog?? Hope you had a super birthday!! We can’t have cake because it’s too much of a fire hazard with 71 candles, besides it would probably set off the smoke detectors!! Wishing you the same wish I’m making tonight – Health, Happiness and Love!!! Have a great day, My Dear!!
xoxo 💖🌹🌹✨😁
