another year older with not much here to show
just more dashed hopes as if I did not know

that things could someday be different if only you ever tried
started to do so in the past 12 months, yet in the end I still cried

what does the world have waiting for this non omnipresent man
can he ever find happiness or is that just not in his plans

the future feels bleak just as my past was full of misery
yet trying to be positive, put an end to all this dark history

light some candles today, time to make some new wishes
live each day as well that you can, no regrets for those he misses

must learn to love and respect thy self
for in the end there may be no one else

be okay with that fact for who knows what might happen
this same time next year you might even be laughin

so this ends just another lonely night
celebrating my birth, before the morning light

happy birthday young man, your path to peace is ahead of you
today's just another off a calendar, don't ever forget that is true
I know someday you will have a beautiful Life

    HAPPY BIRTHDAY JASON!!!! :)



    you got it...
    you got it...


    put down the sorrow
    get right with yourself
    and all that wont matter
    and just as it begins
    all things will open




    much love my friend :D
    It's all yellow.

    Hope all your wishes come true
    then maybe you won't feel so blue.

    Look forward to each day,
    for each day brings with it
    the prospects of something new.

    Have a happy life, Jason.
