Birthday Gal

You plan a day and never know
Exactly how that day will go
For glitches happen, even though
You’ve tried your very best.

Yet when all aspects seem to flow
And happy moments start to grow,
Your spirits soar and make you glow,
In every way expressed.

A view more lovely than Van Gogh
And non-stop wishes all bestow
On me, the birthday gal, a show
Of joy that’s unsuppressed.

Are you back down to 39 yet, Ilene? I'm holding at 38, and will be 37 soon, God willing. Happy Birthday!
