BIRTHDAY GIFTS
Free Verse

A belated birthday gift
From my son I received
That I could use in my daily activities
Jog, walk and exercise the things I need in my life

A blue jogging suit
And a Lacoste rubber shoes
That makes my whole being more active
Feeling better and younger than others

A nice cap from by younger daughter
And a wrist watch from the older
These small things gave me the vigor
The inspiration and aspiration to live longer

With me walking and jogging
Are the  best gifts I ever received
My loving and understanding wife
Which I believe a gift from God

These are great gifts Emilando. Your muscles have memory, and so if you have ever jogged, walked trails, or exercised it won't be long until you are back in shape! God helps those who help themselves. Happy belated birthday!
