*before I write, I wanted you guys to know, todays my birthday :) and this poem just came to mind. I know this is all supposed to be my original inner thoughts, but I give full credos to the original author. It's not mine, but I feel is an exception :)*

A Birthday Gift

She lived a life of solitude.

She lived a life in vain.

She lived a life in which there was

A strong, ongoing pain.

She had no friends on which to lean

And cry her problems to.

She had no friends to give her live

And hope and kindness too.

She thought about it day and night;

She lay upon her bed.

Her mind made up, she grabbed a gun

And put it to her head.

Just then a ring came from the phone.

She pulled the gun away.

Her mom was on the other end

And wanted just to say,

"Happy Birthday, my dear girl.

Today is just for you.

I care for you with all my heart,

I hope you know that's true."

The words ran through her mind so much.

The gun was down for good.

She changed her mind about her life

And then she changed get mood.

She thought about this special day

And what her mom had said.

The gift her mom gave her that day

Was the gift of life again.
