candles light upon a cake
symbolizing all your years
and with one single blow
a wish for mankind you will make
one – your first in life you’ve just begun
two- you stumble forward tripping too
three – you reach and climb up trees
four – you read and want for more
five – so grown up and alive
ten- adventure stories spin
twenty – master of your destiny
seventy – Sudoku if you can only remember where you put the tea
Today at Poet’s United the prompt is Birthday in honor of Martin Luther King’s Birthday.
