As you celebrate the beginning of another year of life...keep in mind a few things! For starters birthdays are WONDERFUL!!! Afterall....the more you have the longer you live! And each birthday anniversary gives you a chance to reflect where you are in your life and where you want to be...that is if you have any brain cells left after the celebration! But as each day dawns fresh and new....each birthday celebration is a reminder of how we should live our lives! Enjoy...
Life
Another year has passed
and we're all a little older.
Last summer felt hotter
and winter seems much colder.
I rack my brain for happy thoughts,
to put down on my pad,
But lots of things that come to mind
that make me kind of sad.
There was a time not long ago
when life was quite a blast.
Now I fully understand
about "Living in the Past"
We used to go to weddings,
football games and lunches.
Now we go to funeral homes,
and after-funeral brunches.
We used to have hangovers,
from parties that were gay.
Now we suffer body aches
and while the night away.
We used to go out dining,
and couldn't get our fill.
Now we ask for doggie bags,
come home and take a pill.
We used to often travel
to places near and far.
Now we get sore asses
from riding in the car.
We used to go out shopping
for new clothing at the Mall
But, now we never bother...
all the sizes are too small.
We used to go to nightclubs
and drink a little booze.
Now we stay at home at night
and watch the evening news.
That, my friend is how life is,
and now my tale is told.
So, enjoy each day and live it up...
before you're too damned old!
