My birthday poetry.

I made 65 years. Maybe 40 more?

My birthday poetry…

1- Today, I am 65 years old.

I will wander to the Sunflower festival in Michigan for the day of my birth.

I am older and maybe wiser?

My birthday wish is simple.

A safe world for my grandchildren and all the children in our world.

2- Once I was young and old age was far away.

Now I am old and I know.

Time goes by us so quickly.

We must ensure we enjoy every new day.

Be the friend, be the listener.

Be the safe place for family and friends to come to.

We are what we leave behind.

Better to be kind and leave a healthy garden.

Growing and reaching for the sun.

If only your birthday wish was so simple as wishing it. Sixty-five isn't quite old age. Old enough to be an age though. When you hit 105 you can qualify. But by then that will be the new 65. Hopefully you'll still be writing, in your old age. Happy birthday Cannis Poeticus!!

John, this is by far and away your best. A mind-blowing tribute to how we all should be and how we should treat not only each other but earth itself. Wonderful and Happy Birthday!

Good advice here, C. Sounds like you have learned the lessons of the years. Too many, whatever their financial situation, still live in sorrow and ignorance. Happy birthday and congratulations.

An awesome write! (We are what we leave behind. Better to be kind and leave a healthy garden. Growing and reaching for the sun.) Beautiful poetry. ~Sharon

[Coyote Poetry]

Thank you dear Sharon. We must set the example for the next generation.

[Sharrumkin]

Lovely. I don't know about wisdom but one thing you do gain with age is a sense of perspective. I see that in the poem.

[Coyote Poetry]

We learn both. We learn we need less and the important of the family. Thank you for reading and the comment.
