Coming of Age
As your birthday dawned that day Though the sky was dark and drear, With friends you were surrounded And the room was full of cheer. Other days you will remember But few as well as this, Birthdays, unlike your twenty-first, Will pass and scarce be missed. And many days of gladness May your future hold in store, Yet drink life fully to the lees And you will love it more. For darkness can draw deeper And when feeling sorely pressed Look to the light within you, And give thanks for you are blest. |
