Today Is A Special Day!

When dark clouds are invisible to only me

When love and good is all I see

When anything and everything is A-OK

I’d guess today is a special day

 

When my phone is ringing off the hook

When there’s a new text each time I look

When I’m recieving hugs every which way

I’d guess today is a special day

 

When a new bracelet jangles on my hand

When presents are promised and parties are planned

When I drop the work and run and play

I’d guess today is a special day

 

When I’m smiling for no point at all

When I feel seventeen feet tall

When they ask the reason I finally say

Today is my seventeenth birthday!

 

When I’ve lived so long yet still not old

When each day’s treasures shine like gold

When I finally appreciate my loaded tray

On my special seventeenth birthday!

 

When night falls and sleep does come

When left with memories of my day of fun

Then I pray this feeling will always stay

The feeling of my seventeenth birthday!
