Poem
Ah! Another birthday is About to be upon you again It is so close But don't feel too frighten My friend. We all have them Or either we don't We are here or Of course already gone. But these birthdays Lordy why must it be We wake up one morning And they have affected The way we see. We kid ourselves thinking Our eyes will focus back We deny it is time for permanent glasses Although we know it has to be. We wake up one morning And our joints feel kinda weird They feel like something Walked on them during our sleep Like something attacked our body But Lord what could it have been? Then one day you get up and Your skin doesn't feel as tight Feels like maybe it loosen Up during the night. Next thing you know You're paying more attention To your bodily functions Hoping they will remain in tact Talking to them more often Thinking that will keep them On the right track. Let's don't forget our memory Somedays it plays little games It likes "Hide and Seek" And at any time Off it may go in a run! Leaving you thnking This time it is gone for good. Oh but be not afraid For there are alot of others Among you About the same age. Some may seem more livelier Or some may seem more dead But they are all headed down That path called The "Elderly". So here's to you On the 18th day of November Happy Birthday and may you have Many more to come. Don't worry about getting old For I have been told it was Alot of fun!!!! Who knows maybe one day A national holiday This day may become. You may set a record By growing old in numbers But remaining always young!
