“BASKETBALL GREETING”

Life is a game that you play everyday

You choose different paths that steer the way

If you make the right ones you conquer and win

If you choose the wrong ones you’ll just hit the room

You won’t make the basket or score a goal

So you must choose wisely when playing your role

There are times when your points of view are rejected

It’s time to take defense and not stand corrected

Take the unbelievers and prove them wrong

Rise to the challenge and come out strong

Succeeding in everything that comes along

You’ve made mistakes and in time you’ll learn

The lessons they teach you as life goes on

You’ll never stop learning the strategies of life

But that’ll make your journey an exciting dive

So much to experience and so much to do

Whatever obstacles hope you’ll make it through

Just keep on believing and look on ahead

You’ve got the drive so don’t be misled

By the negative comments that you might here

Take charge, seize the day, make them disappear

In the end you’ll find the taste of victory is sweet

And life’s fruitful experiences make life complete

May your birthday be one you will never forget

With the sun shining bright and blue skies up ahead

And may your heart be swimming in love

From all the people you’re thinking of
