It's My Birthday

Today it is my birthday So, I will give myself a big hooray, I am another year older And now I am a AARP card holder. I proudly looked over my past year With a smile and also a cheer, I finally made it down the road Another year for me to get old. I have survived another year of aches and pain And also another year of snow and rain I am now a true certified advisor When today I became another year wiser. There are no balloons in my house It is as quiet as a frightened mouse, No one did or wanted to remember This one special day for me in September. There will be no birthday song sung There will be no horns blown or bells rung, No presents and of course no cake or card Will ever clutter my house or even my yard. It is just another forgettable event For me to laugh about and then later vent, No birthday candles for me will be lit It's my birthday, so all will forget. Randy L. McClave
