Notes About The Poem

Birthday Wisdom

The older we get, the more time is a wild river 
with nothing standing in its way ~ 

One solution for slowing time down is to
live it up during your whole birthday month ~

At our age, it's not wise to cram too much celebrating 
in just one day ~ we need to pace ourselves

I like it, my friend. Sara and I celebrate each of our birthday weeks. Our birthdays are only 20 days apart, so it's about all we can handle. LOL I enjoyed your poem, Line. Bill

Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. Pacing myself all the time now. Maybe every day is a birthday --- or an un-birthday.
