Another day older And what do I have to show for it? What will make me immortal? Is it never dying, Or the works I create, Like busy ants Building, always building Moving ever in vain In their doomed mounds To be destroyed by whim Of Nature or Man, Or by their own hand Pitiless time marches on Cruel Fate, and even crueler Hope Gathers me along with everyone In its tightening grip Some few slipping between fingers Postponing their inevitable destination Only pausing briefly Until falling faster, They hit the ground suddenly And then what does it all matter? Just another day older And still, What do I have to show for it? |

Now at first this struck me as a Happy Birthday Pity Party... and then I realized that just like me, you only got one day older... but leaps and leaps wiser! Well done! |

Another day older?, well if you don't have nothing to show, you still have today to make up for it!Well express I think about the same thing occasionally. |

Sunshine wins the prize. Not a birthday poem, but I was in a mood when I wrote it. Long story |
