My birthday.
I couldn't wait for my special day when I
Was a youngster, but now my
Birthdays have lost their appeal.
"You're as young as you feel," I'm
Told.
Oh no!
I'm glad I'm not that old.
But I wonder.
Will we have birthdays in heaven?
Will we all be the same age?
Will Jack have hair?
Until I'm there I'll push aside my
Negative thoughts and be grateful that
God has given me another year,
Grateful for friends and family who
Share their sweet greetings, and
Grateful that no one puts 75 candles on
A birthday cake.
