by Catherine Pulsifer
Think of all the special people
Don't count your candles
Each year that goes by
Who love you and care
The people in your life
Who touched you by being there.
Or think about the years
Think about your blessings
Don't let your birthday be a fear.
Remember you are blessed
To have so many people
Who have contributed to your happiness.

"Of late I appear
"To have reached that stage
When people who look old
Who are only my age."
