It Was A Birthday Gathering
With Cake And Lots Of Candles
Blazing On Top Of It
Waiting To Be Blown Out
By Me
We Had A Fire Extinguisher
On The Ready
I’m Not The Biggest Fan
Of Birthdays
Marking Another
Ring Around The Sun
But, I’m Always Happy
To Have A New Birthday
It’s Actually
My Wish Every Year,
To Have Another One
You’re Only As Old
As You Feel, They Say
And I Feel Really Good
Yet The Truth Comes ‘Round
A Little Harder On That Day
Reminding Me
That My Trips
Around The Sun
Are Dwindling
The Road Ahead
Is Shorter Than
The Road Behind
The Day Is A Pensive
Reminder Meant
To Focus One’s Attention
On The Fact That
“Life Is Too Short
To Be Anything
But Happy”!!
And As I Pondered
That Thought
I Rejoiced At All
The Blessings
I’ve Been Given
And Then Blew Out
The Candles

Thanks a lot, dear Chuck 🙂
I lift my glass to your health and wealth – not a glass of alcohol, as I do not drink any alcohol, but friends call me sometimes “milk boy”… – LOL
May all your good wishes come true, my friend 🙂
All the best
Didi
