To Many They slogan me with tear and cheer And often with a glass of beer. Some in laughter some in pain All of which drives me insane. They rap me on the back and roar The bore of wish with many more. Take me back to past gusto Where once it really happened so. The count is much to much in store I can't surmount too many more. It's something that I must confess To many bless are not a bless. Each one takes one away you see And leaves a little less of me. And I would rather not they say Happy birthday and bless this day. I'd rather not the age remind I'd rather not they be so kind. |

You are only as old as you feel. Just a darn shame some of us feel so much older that our years. Bless you and hope you have many more years. |

Seymour~ I have a wish that I could make To take one candle off your cake Removing one each and every year Would give you reason enough to cheer As the years quickly descend You'd soon be a darling baby again Hello BABY !  If only ... eh? Love you ... ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Happy Birthday, friend of mine Another year of vintage wine Another candle's glowing bight Adding to your spirit's light Another year to wisdom's sage The wine gets much more smooth with age I'll have a glass of this fine brew And make a toast of friendship too Love Liz |

To all my wonderful friends above, It was a fun poem and I enjoyed all your reactions. I like Margies idea the best taking one year off each year under those conditions I'd start celebrating right now. LOL Once again thanks again for the great comments. I remain, Methuselah. |

I Know You Not...A Birthday Wish Strangely enough I have come by my friends, not the "normal" way I don't think. By word of mouth or a poem I wrote, or a curiosity of others to drink, And soak up the knowledge of persons on here. But whatever the reason that be, I found they are special and touch many hearts, Their words often comforting me. Here's wishing the best of a Birthday to you. Age doesn't mean a thing. It's the words that are written, the spirit enjoyed, the warmth that your words can bring. ~Wynter < !signature--> "The worst prison would be a closed heart". ...Pope John Paul II [This message has been edited by nakdthoughts (edited 11-05-2000).] |

Sometimes our birthdays are simply opportunities for other folks to let us know how special we are to them. Sounds as if that's what these fine friends of yours are doing here, Mr. T. A wonderful poem. Rainy [This message has been edited by Rainydays (edited 11-05-2000).] |
