Ticking the calendar
Checking the time
Counting the candles
Drinking your wine
.
This due date set
Cause for party calls
Fine friends greet
Autumn leaves fall
.
Scarlet ribbon bright
Sky the stars set alight
This day is celebrated
This night rejuvenated
.
Dainty essence of rain
May cloud your whims
But the rainbow gained
Is worth the cold sting
.
After all, life may be taint with grey
Still, you are well-off and surviving
Come what may, for it's not everyday
That you're blossoming to be eighteen.
