Birthday Wishes, Without Loving Family Memories Life Is Devoid
Without Loving Memories Life Is Devoid
So your pretty face turned forty today
My how sweet time races far away
Give yourself a gift of love this way
and write in poetic verse and play!
Look back at the life you have enjoyed
The burning candles that lit your way
Without loving memories life is devoid
Have a blessed birthday I pray!

Thanks my friend, for honoring my request to add verses and being a good sport about the poem and the age teasing lyrics.
Without Loving Memories Life Is Devoid
So your pretty face turned forty today
My how sweet time races far away
Give yourself a gift of love this way
and write in poetic verse and play!
Look back at the life you have enjoyed
The burning candles that lit your way
Without loving memories life is devoid
Have a blessed birthday I pray!
Good sir, for being close to me in age,
you know that we cannot forever be
age 40, but if we write poetry,
the chance is better we can live stress-free!
Let's play with words, with rhythm and with rhyme.
Life's candles that we lit have left a glow.
Our memories in poems live on through time,
and we might both be 90 for all they know!
