Tis a privilege to Age
Happy day of my birth,
May it be filled with merriment and mirth,
Full of celebration with friends of my generation.
May I know
Prosperity, success, and happiness will grow,
Keeping my life active, moving forward, on the go.
With equal measure of work, play, and rest
In order to bring forth my best.
Tis a privilege to age--
And turn another page.
Live another year--
Embracing adventure while here.
To struggle and juggle what life may bring
Knowing the winds of change may fling
Away anything.
I release all sadness and fear with a tear.
Face today's new sun with a smile
Glad to be here for awhile.
My countenance will show
Wisdom as I grow to know
The wrinkles and gray hair are my badge of courage.
