Candles
The candles light my way, I’ve learned so much in those years.
I wouldn’t give them up with all their joys and tears.
Each passing year brings experience and memories galore.
Not knowing what the future holds is a thrill I can’t ignore.
I’ve earned all of the wrinkles and every hair that’s gray.
You live, you learn, you love, you learn. You know that’s
what they say.
I see things much more clearly than 20 years ago.
I’ve learned so much from my mistakes and others that I know.
Like the candles on the cake, my light shines brightly, too.
With maturity and confidence to make my dreams come true.
I look forward to the coming year and every passing day.
And I hope to make some new friends there along the way.
The years are piling up but the candles light my way.
My experience guides the path I choose to follow every day.
