Gershon Wolf Poet Light Verse

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday!
  Marks each year
We all clink glasses
  To a friend's new year 

Toasts are read
  Loads of good cheer
All in honor of
  The coming year 

Behind the scenes
  It's time to reflect
The good, preserve
  The bad reject

Blow out the candles
  Eat the cake...
Promises to keep
  Decisions to make

Gershon Wolf May 21, 2019 at 2:43 PM Ah, I remember: You are a Gemini. Am I remembering correctly? Happy upcoming 29th birthday, my dear. Best wishes, Gershon
