Birthday Time 06-05

Life’s enveloped, digressed and got old Memories are fading even against my hold. Years have flown by oh so fast It’s a pity I couldn't make them last. 16 I was innocent and sweet 17 wasn't good to me 18-19 saw me grow 20 I decided to make my own 21-23 saw me party, lie and cheat 24 I began to get weak 25 work took over I knew my party days were over I got a degree amongst all the fun I began to outshine every one A proper job set for life. My mid -20’ s now I must survive 26 I settled down I had a 2 bedroom flat and job to hold down 27 life became a mess Life and love began to give me stress 28-have you not been told? All my dreams and hopes were sold A downward spiral I did take God made me pay for every mistake So here I sit on the eve of 29 I wonder what stories here I will find But whether it be rain or shine 29, it is time………… So in the distance I hear them sing Happy birthday…lets join in 29 is here, let’s all cheer …………….Have a happy birthday dear.
