Is today really your Birthday?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY
 
Imagine if you arrived born
into the world at the age you are now.
Imagine if today was your first day,
your birthday.
 
You will meet your family,
partner and friends
for the first time.
You will see the house where you live.
 
You will see trees and water.
You go to work for the first time,
 meet your colleagues
and see how you’re using your talents
 
Today, on this your birthday
you will see all that has been given to you.
You will discover all of  the places
where you make your mark.
 
As you begin to take it all in, you’re filled
with wonder, excitement and questions.
You just can’t wait to get started,
to find out more and to explore.
 
It’s just so amazing
what you’ve been given on this your birthday.
And then, you receive the most
incredible birthday present of all time.
 
You will have a new beginning like this
every single day for the rest of your life.
A new day will arrive each morning 
ready to be discovered.
