ONE ORDINARY DAY

An ordinary day for an ordinary person like me

Same old daily routines done for school and for camaraderie

But what highlights this ordinary day

Is a special event celebrated by yours truly.

The day when a mother gave birth to a baby

Which then became her one and only.

Well taken care of since the day of her delivery

Making sure of her safety from day to day.

Nineteen years have passed

And the mother helped her adjust.

From the simplest details of life

To the complex dilemmas surpassed.

How she wishes time would just slow down

Letting her savour the moment and just cool down.

Reflecting on the things that has been done

And looking forward on what’s yet to come.

But now it can’t be denied,

The baby has grown and can now decide

On the path she should take and the things she wanted

Having friends on her side and her parents as guide.

I never expected I would be this much happy

Since I thought it would be again just another ordinary day.

But at times when I pass by the hall way,

Friends call and greet me happy birthday.

The fact that they were able to remember me

Just lightens up my day.

I would never forget this ordinary day

Because today, I just celebrated my nineteenth birthday.
