Birthday poems: birthday before you die by Olatunbosun Jesunifemi


Birthday before you die

Tinker-bell,
Tinker-bell,
blow forever-ton candles,
ash candles,
for deeds are whistles, 
- air.

and wish a wish,
wish for a candle,
and match sticks to lit,
a blossoming flower,
for each neighbor passing by.

-written by Jesunifemi
