Celebrate Thyself

Because I like attention and don't shame away from being the center of attention (most of the time) I'd like to announce it's my BIRTHDAY! I love the fact that it's on Friday the 13th this year. I'm not superstitious and LOVE this day.
All with a b-day today, sing dance and enjoy. All those that don't, join in the fun.
I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.

I loafe and invite my soul,
I lean and loafe at my ease observing a spear of summer grass.

My tongue, every atom of my blood, form'd from this soil, this air,
Born here of parents born here from parents the same, and their parents the same,
I, now thirty-FOUR years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.

Creeds and schools in abeyance,
Retiring back a while sufficed at what they are, but never forgotten,
I harbor for good or bad, I permit to speak at every hazard,
Nature without check with original energy.

Famous American Poet Walt Whitman. As your English progresses I highly suggest you read his work. Very amazing stuff. He's one of my all time favorites.
