9/18 -- If Today is Your Birthday...

(Peyton Wilson and Jordyn Gottlieb by Greg Fischer, Sept. 2005)

If today is your birthday, I hope you have cake. Birthdays are meant for cake.
If today is your birthday, I hope you have fun. Birthdays are supposed to be fun.
If today is your birthday, I hope you feel loved. Sometimes it might be hard to feel loved, but you are, you know.
If today is your birthday, I hope it feels like a celebration -- for you and for the people who love you. (Especially the little ones.)
If today is your birthday, I hope you get presents. But if you don't, I hope the day itself will be a gift!
If today is your birthday, I hope you will be so busy laughing that there will be no time for tears. At least not today.
If today is your birthday, I hope you can brace yourself and say, "This next year is going to be better." And really believe it.
If today is your birthday, I hope you have a wonderful day...
Happy Birthday, Gina!
