The last year went by in a blink
Today marks another birthday
Feels like a year passed in a day!

Sometimes we wish the years to pause.
The years may pass,
But our friendship will last
Age really doesn't matter

We will sing for all to hear
Wishing you all the best
As a friend, you're the greatest!

The Birthday
Poet: R. C. Lehman
Through the changing years may all delight
Live in your face and make your being bright.
May the good sprites and busy fays befriend you,
And cheerful thoughts and innocent defend you;

When in the chambers of your mind you see
Those who have loved you, then remember me.

Aging Advice
Poet: Julie Hebert, ©2011
Happy Birthday to my dear friend,
I wish you a happy and great day.
Can't believe you're now one year older,
Time to celebrate and holler Hooray!
Being an age older than you,
I must give you a little advice.
Growing older is not just getting wiser,
It's all in the roll of the dice.
Some of us start to forget things,
Others our bodies unravel.
We wish we could take aging and stop it,
Or maybe sent it somewhere to travel.
All I can say is eat well,
And try and take care of yourself.
A little exercise and great company,
Is what aging is all about.
-
My Age Surpasses Yours!
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Who am I to give aging advice on your special day?
Well, my age surpasses yours in every single way.
But listen here my youthful friend, don't fret or fuss,
Forget about the numbers, live and be you, that's a must.
So blow out those candles, drink, and be merry,
Cheers to another year, so full of joy and not so scary.
Age forget it, how do you feel in your mind,
Happy Birthday my friend you're one of a kind!
-
Remember This
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
On this, your birthday, my friend, remember this,
Prioritize self-care, this step don't miss.
Stay socially active, with loved ones near,
Embrace new experiences, banish fear.
Practice mindfulness, in each breath you take,
Maintain a positive outlook, troubles forsake.
Cultivate gratitude, for all life's shown,
Stay curious and learn, your wisdom grown.

Have A Happy Birthday
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Friends come and go
But you my friend
Have stuck with me
But we're not to the end.
You may be getting older
And a bit wiser too
But I know your age,
But don't let that get you blue.
You may be a bit slower,
You may see wrinkles too
But my friend that will
Never stop you.
Your hair is turning colors,
Is it silver or gray?
Who cares,
Just have a Happy Birthday!
