Another Birthday

Another birthday's come around this year. Edging closer to middle age, I fear. You've got the glasses for your reading. I wonder where all this is leading. Soon you'll be in the rocking chair, Losing much of your graying hair. The granny dresses you wear some days Will soon be appropriate for always. No more cookies for you to eat. They'll go to your hips with a single treat. You'll be begging to take a rest, And also endure the dreaded stress test. Now for a more serious line or two. I wish a happy birthday just for you. Good health and spirits I pray you possess, For you deserve nothing less.
