MY BIRTHDAY TODAY, ON FIRST DECEMBER
This morning dawns with golden light,
A gift of years, a soul in flight.
The candles glow, the voices sing,
A day of love, new joys to bring.
On my birthday today, I count my many blessings,
I am alive and still around to share my appreciation.
To all the members of this group, I am very grateful,
That you are part of my literary and poetic world.
For my family, loved ones, and friends, I‘m grateful to
God.
Life is beautiful when there is love all around.
So let the music of the heart resound,
In every verse, true joy is found.

Human trafficking is a serious crime that abuses people's fundamental rights and dignity.
Drug addiction, also called substance use disorder, is a disease that affects a person's brain and behaviour and leads to an inability to control the use of a legal or illegal drug or medicine.
Domestic abuse, also called "domestic violence" or "intimate partner violence", can be defined as a pattern of behaviour in any relationship that is used to gain or maintain power and control over an intimate partner.
It is time to break the Silence and raise awareness of these deadly evils.
Poets from Algeria, Australia, Bangladesh, Bolivia, Brazil, Cuba, Denmark, Egypt, Finland, Ghana, Iraq, India, Italy, Lebanon, Liberia, Mexico, Nepal, Nigeria, Pakistan, Philippines, Puerto Rico, Portugal, Romania, South Africa, Tanzania, Trinidad and Tobago, and the USA participated in this Anthology.
