"24 candles aglow,
A grateful heart beats within me,
For the source that created life,
And the journey that set me free.

In memory lane, I reminisce,
Smiles and tears, a winding road,
Life's beauty shines, despite the mess,
A tapestry of love, forever sewn.

Scars, now badges of honor wear,
Housing memories, both old and new,
The bad, the good, the ugly, and fair,
All part of the story, I hold true.

Love led me on an adventure deep,
Through self-discovery's winding path,
I've walked through tides, and shades that creep,
And found my strength, in love's warm aftermath.

I'm only human, learning still,
Equipped with love, from the source above,
My God, my family, my guiding will,
A unique bond, forged in endless love.

They are my rock, my shelter, and might,
My shoulder to lean on, through the night,
All I am is love, all I give is light,
A beacon in darkness, shining bright.

As I grow older, my aura expands,
A warmth that's hard to ignore,
For love's the fire that fuels my hands,
And guides me forward, forever more."
