About Birthdays

If 2 plus 2 equates to 4
And 5 is only 1 year more
Age 6 attained, would you agree
Is surely old enough to be

Another year rolls by, Good Heavens
We're in the Roaring Raging 7's
Then soon it's time to celebrate
The ripe old age of Now I'm 8

6 months more, if this you double
You're in the midst of Aging trouble
Add this to 8 and you create
A 9 year old as sure as fate

At 10 the years begin to fly
A process we cannot defy
Years come from a Source of Plenty
You turn around and find you're 20

If at some point, we could stop counting
To prevent the years from mounting
By holding numbers in reserve
Perhaps our youth we could preserve

But if your heart will let you say
I'm glad today's another day
The passing years don't bother me
You're young as anyone can be!
