Its The Only Way To Be

It was only my birthday
Happens each year
I am not counting mine
Whenever they appear

Birthdays come and go
Matters not my age
As another year turns
It is only another stage

I am not over the hill yet
Onwards I progress
Being older by a year
Age you have to guess

I will stay young at heart
Its the only way to be
I will age like fine wine
It is sweeter in maturity

Very positive message for all those who worship youth.  You had nice structure and world selection throughout.  That must take time

Much like age your poem is sweet like wine. I must admit HopeS though that I am exceedingly jealous of your poetic skill. Your poems are expressed with such clarity and beauty, which I strive for.

In short, Kudos.

Loved the artwork by the way. It's cute-for lack of a better word.
