Happy Birthday with Love

nothing we can do about getting older, but plenty we can do about getting wiser...

Birthdays, seem to come and go

Love is always here to stay

Birthdays, like seas, ebb and flow

Love, we know, decides the way...

 

Birthdays try to tell no lies

Love, we say, belongs to us

Birthdays steadfast on the rise

Love, and joy, without the fuss....

 

Birthdays proudly show the gray

Love, like elk, is colorblind

Birthdays teach me what to say

Love, abounds, and so sublime ...

 

Birthday wishes on my lips

Love reminds me to forgive

Birthdays from your body drips

Love is all I have to give ...

I would prefer to not celebrate Birthdays...........I only do it for the kids. It is a reminder that time is so precious and that we need to hang on to every moment possible. A unique write Allen, well penned.

There is great wisdom in this. This is a lovely poem.

[Poetic Beauty]

There are many things we learn about love with age and there are many ways love keeps us feeling young. This is a wonderful description about how times change as we get older but love doesn't see the fine lines and the gray hair. This is romantic and eye opening.

[Becky C Strukamp]
