In a few short days, I will be turning 17. The thought of that makes me shudder, I haven’t got enough of being 16 yet. I only have 365 and a quater days to declare that I am of this wonderful age and the priviledge of doing that is going to be gone in less than 3 days! I can’t deny the fact that I am sad that I am growing up too quickly!!!
Nevertheless, I am still thankful to God for all that he has done for me in the past year that he has showered innumerable blessings on me. I think that I have grown faster in the past half a year, more than I would have imagined to be possible.
Having a serious problem with expression, I have summarised how I feel about growing a year older into a song. It’s the Birthday Song by Corrine May, listen to it k? (:
The Birthday Song by Corrinne May
Don’t worry about that extra line
That’s creeping up upon your face
It’s just a part of nature’s way to say you’ve grown a little more
Trees have rings and thicker branches
Kids shoes get a little tighter
Every year we’re getting closer to who we’re gonna be
It’s time to celebrate the story of how you’ve come to be
Happy Birthday, my friend
Here’s to all the years we’ve shared together
All the fun we’ve had
You’re such a blessing
Such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you
And may all your dreams come true
So light a candle on your cake
For every smile you’ve helped create
For every heart and every soul you’ve helped to grow
A little more
A few more pounds, a little more grey
Don’t count the years, just count the way
It takes a little time to go from water into wine
Don’t ever lose the wonder of that child within your eyes
Happy Birthday, my friend
Here’s to all the years we’ve shared together
All the fun we’ve had
You’re such a blessing
Such a joy in my life
May the good Lord bless you
And may all your dreams come true
I’m a flower quickly fading, here today and gone tomorrow, a wave tossed in the ocean, a vapour in the wind. I will not be here forever, all my possessions are fleeting, fading but You will be here forever. You are the everlasting. I love you God (:
