Another Year

Another year older,

In my climb of old age.

My body seems to tell me,

You have yet a new page.

 

Wondering where the years went,

So many I'm losing track.

Yet I remember friends along the way,

Their love I never lack.

 

Too many candles

To put on a cake.

Just a number,

For old times sake.

I prefer a cake without candles. I'm sure every new year makes one wonder how much longer. Like my uncle said after his 101st birthday… "Bring me a bucket… I want to kick it."

AS a famous guy named Bob S. sang, just "turn the page" and keep on trucking!!
The way I look at it, I am happy I have pages left to turn, though that last page is getting a little closer but that is true even from the day we are born.

Rejoice!!!
