Another Year Older
Poet: Julie Hebert, �2011

I must start this off by saying Happy Birthday,
To someone who's always so fun.
It's hard to believe you're getting older,
But don't worry you’ve still got a long run.

Today your just turning a year older,
It's not like your losing your hair.
Oh wait you have started receding,
I’m so sorry your scalp is going bare.

Next, you'll be seeing wrinkles,
Then comes the bodily displease.
Oh my, getting older is scary,
But I'm sure you’ll age just like old cheese.

Wait, old cheese does not age very well,
I meant you’ll age like old wine.
Oh really, who am I kidding?
You're still the best, that's the bottom line!

One year wiser, full of living, laughing, and fun. May the coming year be just as good as the last one!

Wisdom They Say
by Kate Summers

One can make a difference,
One haircut can change your appearance,
One smile can cheer someone up,
One kind word can make someone's day
One hour of attention with a child do play.
One negative thought can leave you in dismay,
One year older brings wisdom they say!

A Birthday Wish
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, �2019

A birthday wish is sent to you
Another year older look how much you grew
As you journey down life's road
Be sure to take your raincoat.

As you will have your ups and downs
There will be days you wish you were a clown
But always remember our love for you
We wish only happiness and success for you.

Passed You By
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, �2021

Another year has passed you by
Tell us your age don't be shy
The years they seem to quickly fly
Sometimes we say it with a sigh.

Life has a way of moving so fast
We turn around and yesterday has passed
So we must always live each day
Wasting no days, working and time for play!

Have A Great Day
Poet: Kate Summers, �2021

A birthday is a time to say,
Get up and have a great day
The days are passing by
Before you know it another birthday will arrive.

Can you believe another year?
Be happy and full of cheer
We want to celebrate with you
We love you and all you do!
