It's My Birthday Today

[forty8]

Bright sunshine and wind in trees,
Standing on the summit, enjoying the breeze,
It just doesn't matter how far I roam,
White Mountains are where I'm always at home.

Roots and rocks are catching my feet,
Enjoying winter's cold and summer's dry heat,
I stepped out for a minute, but I think now I'll stay.
I'll do what I want, 'cause it's my birthday today!

(Thank you for your indulgence!)
