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.

Coyote

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!!

Forgive, but, belated Happy Birthday, John and congratulations. Your thoughts and emotions on and for the day are precious.. focusing on others, especially the children who have, please God, a peaceful and brighter future ahead of them if the living care enough to prepare for them. Many thanks for your wise and generous words. Skip into the rest and adventure your own future, too. sir.

Honoured. Always knew from the distinguished way you write things that you were of an older age never would I have thought that your journey has travelled so far. Thank you for the opportunity to a part of it.

Hello, long time no see and belated birthday wishes. I've been inactive for so long but nice to come back on and read some work. It's only in this 4th decade that I can see time speeding by. Trying to slow down and treasure the days. Hope you've been keeping well and thanks for this hopeful and reflective piece.
