Today, my husband is now fifty-four.
In three weeks my father turns eighty.
Causes to celebrate. It seems aging
is that one way street, that meat
digested. Absorbing our actions, we
now entertain deep thoughts. Like
trees at dawn, we will emerge from this
darkness and take shape. Nowadays,
we sleep. There will come a time when
we awaken to the smell of oranges and
of Eden. Happy birthday and many more.
BTW- Happy Birthday to your Husband. I'll forgive him for being so young.
Time is one thing we have no control of, so enjoy it. Happy Birthday to all! Thought provoking.
Mary
