Why Do Birthdays Mean So Much? Why do birthdays mean so much? It is not like a date you can touch When the stars and#moonand planets align A unique configuration made by one knowing divine We are but part of a faraway star Maybe an experiment to travel and see how far Energy contained within mortal bodies Similar but unique without any copies So why should we celebrate a birthday? When time is only relevant to an earth day Because the love we feel is all it is worth It is the only reason we have for our birth. So whether on earth or a soul on the move The love we hold has nothing more to prove But remember and celebrate we must To all join up again one day we trust A birthday candle lit on this day To show love lingers and does stay A gift from the heart placed in your hand Tells me your love was always planned
