A Birthday

Got lots of cards and lots of texts And phone calls, some with singing, All filled with happy birthday wishes Kith and kin were bringing. A vase of purple tulips Made this rainy day delightful. (My husband knows I love them So his choice was quite insightful.) A visit to a pretty town With shops just right for browsing Will segue to a hotel room With views too nice for drowsing. Tonight a dinner with some friends Will cap the celebration, For getting older's so much better With collaboration.
