2026.03.08, 35th birthday.
Today, Sunday, JC, it is your 35th BD
For sure, you will drink beers to celebrate.
Three cheers to you my dear.
From someone and everyone you knew
"Hiphip hooray, Hip hip hooray Hiphip hooray".
Did you know that according to Rudolf Steiner,
"One becomes a new person,
Body and mind every 7 years"
"One is wiser as one grows older".
Have you changed your beliefs and attitudes?
Improved your behaviours and become more mature.
I belief it should be now or sooner.
Otherwise, when you actually did,
I would no longer recognise or remember you,
Maybe, I would not even be around.
As I am now, one foot in the ground.
Any way, I wish to shout out aloud:
"JC, happy birthday to you,
May all your sweet dreams come true"
From me, who was grateful to you,
Then became very careful with you
And finally, so disappointed and frightened of you.
Anyway. Enjoy your special day.
My dear, happy birth day.
Do I have a present for you today?
Yes, by all means, it would be yours,
If you could get it.
I was sure you really liked and wanted it.
I meant it JC.
Goodbye my dear. Take care of yourself JC.
