Birthday Blues

When I was a child my birthdays came
As seldom near as never.
While now it seems they've speeded up;
Are coming at me ever.

I just get cozy with my age
And each new ache and pain;
Familiar with each droop and sag.
My birthday comes again.

I'm sorry to be such a jerk.
I really need your shoulder.
I'm bummed each Seventh of July
Will find me one year older.

Many happy returns for the 7th Joyce and many, many more that we might enjoy your scribing for a long, long time.

I had to come back on this one---
I was feeling this way last week so I told my freind that she had to be patient with me because a lot of my parts have already left for heaven and I was working with a skeleton crew.

Dear Joyce,

You can use my shoulder anytime. I know just how you feel. I wish you a wonderful Birthday filled with laughter and joy.

Love,
Patricia
