MY 65th
BIRTHDAY
I just turned 65
today
And it doesn't seem so bad,
I don't think I feel
too sorry,
But I can't say I feel too glad.
It
wasn't just my birthday,
For my body had one too,
There's the trouble with it all,
What I once did, I
now can't do.
My hair somehow, is not so much,
Try as I
may, my strength says `no',
My legs would rather not be
used
But my spirit still says for me to go.
My eyes
won't let me see too good
But I now see things that I
never had,
I have more time now to see the good
But also
more time to see the bad.
The rush is all behind me
now,
I will be coasting from now on,
In life's mad race
to stay ahead
I passed up treasures that are gone.
I
now take time to hear the birds,
To watch the children,
see the sky,
Good-bye to days of rush and strife,
Where
once I always passed these by.
When I was young, time meant naught,
No
thought of a swiftly passing day,
Who thought time would
speed so fast
And that I would be 65 today.
When
very young, I pulled on time,
It's sort of a joke, but true
you see,
In middle years, we moved as one
But later on,
time pulled on me.
Many things I am thankful for,
Far too many
to have me say,
But one thing makes me very glad,
That
I am really alive today.
Yes, today I had a
birthday,
I added one year more;
Boy, that time went by
so fast,
Seems only yesterday I was 64.
Many things
I still want to see
While I am here on earth alive,
The
first that comes to my mind is,
That I would really like to
see 75.
