Today, the 27^th of May, Friday,

I celebrate another birthday.

I again thank God for prolonging my life,

For giving me the strength for the right strife,

For saving me from a danger,

For giving me a chance to understand a stranger.

For forgiving all my sins,

For congratulating with my wins.

Another year of my life has passed.

I hope it is not the last.

So, I think it’s early for the summing up,

Many more times I’ll drink my champagne cup.

All I can attempt to do now is:

Lightly touch my opinion and feelings

Upon some dealings within my interests.

Yes, I have more of life experience,

I care about my appearance…..

With greater elaboration and motivation

I chose this or that citation,

And every new day I accept with an elation.

My inside world is young,

I sing the songs I’ve sung,

I love to listen to the new songs.

To the whole world my heart belongs.

I realize the life’s price,

To live on the Earth is really nice.

One more year of my life has passed,

Life goes so fast.

But anyway it’s worth living

With  God’s help and His forgiving

I’ll try to do my best in all,

And always to be on the ball.
