Today Is the nightmare I dread all my life,
Which I never thought, I reach,
My "60th Birthday"..... Thank God.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*****~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Another glorious day
For me to wake up
Thank God
For another stay
On my "60th Birthday."

What I see, in the morror
Comes with a bit of horror
As I look heaven bound
Towards Zeus.

Without saying a word
I yelled
Why can I age gracefully
Like Gary Grant, Gregory Peck
Of Randoff Scott.

The reflection of me
I see
Is that of a Neanderthal
That God Forgot.

When I was young
I would hear whispers of
"He has the body"
Of a Greek God.

A body carved and chiseled
To perfection
Like, Mars, Mercury
Or Apollo.

But Zeus
Has bestowed, upon me
The body, of a forsaken Greek
Since I've Become
A Computer Geek.

Oh Happy Birthday Wiliam.. This reminds me of a poem I wrote awhile back... "Age With Grace" It is kind of scary how fast the time passes by.. I have learned to give thanks for every single gray hair and for each new wrinkle... I am thankful that I lived long enough to discover these gifts... It's so heartbreaking when someone so young passes away... From an illness, accident or a victim of a drive by shooting... So live it up!!! This is another mile stone for you... :) Trixie :)
