Beautiful birthday gift

On my special day

Though life has it’s ups and downs

I am thankful I was born

#NaPoWriMo–Day 28–Prompt: write a poem that tells a story.
But here’s the twist – the story should be told backwards.

Mine might be a bit off prompt—but it’s the best I could do as being a forward thinking person I am not good at writing backwards. 🙂

Today, November 19th, is World Toilet Day
A day that raises awareness of the 2.5 billion people globally who do not have access to a toilet or clean water.
Read this article “24 Hours Without Clean Water” to get some idea of what it might be like to have to live without a toliet and clean water.
Cottonelle is partnering with Water For People to raise funds and awareness around the lack of basic sanitation for families worldwide by asking individuals to #GoCommando4ACause. Kimberly-Clark Corporation will donate $1 to Water For People for every mention of the hashtag #GoCommando4ACause on social media, November 19-26.
