Birthday Thoughts
I’ve gotten cards, I’ve gotten calls.
Acknowledgement is nice,
But wipe away ten years or so?
I’d do it in a trice.
I wouldn’t want to start again –
Once ‘round is quite enough –
But as the years add up, I’ll soon
Be calling Nature’s bluff.
Yet as it is, I’ll celebrate,
With some I hold so dear,
This date which means I’ve made it through
Another fleeting year.
