Birthday Party
My next party will be a big one
Even larger than the last
Which was held in the city park
And truly was a blast.
Two hundred people of all ages came
To celebrate my day.
They brought cards and gifts and flowers
To cheer me on my way.
A team of horses and a wagon
Stood by to give a ride
I was driven through the streets of town.
To wave at those along the side.
That party was in 2013
And I was turning ninety-five.
In 2018 I'll have my hundredth.
That is if I'm still alive.
Some dear ones who were with me,
Will not be present at the next one.
But I know they will be watching and
Still enjoying the fun.
If you see this poem, keep it,
For it is an invitation,
To one of the happiest birthday parties
Ever held in this great nation.
The party will be 07/07/18
