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!

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