A Birthday’s Just A Number
That’s What I Hear Them Say
You’re Only As Old As You Think You Are
So I Think I’ll Be Younger Today
No Matter What The Calendar Shows
Or How Many Years Have Past
I Celebrate A Wish Come True
And Wish Again, It’s Not My Last

HAPPY BIRTHDAY – DEAR CHUCK!
This poem I have written right now and is devoted to you, dear friend.
Love and light to you
Didi
Happy birthday, mankind
Born in a day of light
Life paves its way
Along pearls of years
Given by God
Deep thankfulness remains
In the heart
For mother and father
Giving life though oneness
Each year a candle is light
In our heart and spirit
For life is given
Celebration of our being
Let us use this being
For the best of our use
Then our birthday is a celebration
For all of us…

Guitar Tutor Books & DVDs – Go to Amazon or any music store and you’ll discover a bewildering assortment of guitar instruction books and DVDs.
Cable operating companies also give this type of case to offer
their potential customers making use of their services.
