Happy birthday to me! – Poem by Deon Labuschagne

Today I’m only thinking of me!
Highlighting all the good qualities
and celebrating them!

I am a good guy.
I like the way I smile
because it sparks someone else to smile too.

I am a grand gentleman.
Grooming myself is a joy.
It always gives me confidence
when I go out to enjoy my day!

Listening to a favourite tune
that reminds me of me!
Dancing on the biggest dance floor
called life.

Turning round and round
as the crowd goes wild!
Loving their applause
because I’m an inspiration to them.

I like the way I handle my health
doing more than the necessary.
Not skipping an appointment,
taking my medication on time,
being active in sport,
keeping my mind busy with art
and socializing with loved ones!

When troubles and trials come
I take it with joy,
persevering brings
intimate moments with God
where I find wisdom

I love the way I trust my God
I love to sit with my Father
listening to all the plans He has for me!
Dancing with Jesus,
the love of my life.
Living close to my Counsellor
following His advice.

I like myself!
I love myself!
I am a great guy!

I love being me!
