BIRTHDAY
In the twilight of seasons, I now stand,
A year's journey etched in the lines of my hand.
As the clock ticks forward, marking the change,
I embrace the wisdom that time does arrange.
Seventy years,a milestone behind,
With cherished memories, both gentle and kind.
Days filled with laughter, tears, and surprise,
Through joys and sorrows, my spirit still flies.
The years have gifted me moments untold,
Stories woven in threads of silver and gold.
I've weathered storms and basked in the sun,
With each passing day, a life fully spun.
But now, dear seventy, you draw me near,
A chapter unfolding, crisp and clear.
With every heartbeat, a rhythm serene,
I embrace the blessings from my queen.
Time whispers secrets within my soul,
Unveiling mysteries that once were unknown.
The mirror reflects a face that's matured,
With wisdom's glow, my spirit assured.
The pace may slow, as years go by,
Yet, passion ignites, refusing to die.
Dreams still dance in my eager heart's beat,
Age is but a number, youth's vibrant retreat.
I celebrate the strength I've gained in stride,
Lessons learned, in the ebbs and tides.
With gratitude, I cherish life's sweet flow,
A symphony of love, that continues to grow.
So, seventy, with open arms, I greet,
With joy and gratitude, my heart replete.
I'll savor each moment, embrace the unknown,
For life's true beauty in every milestone is shown.
Through every age, I'll carry the flame,
Shining brightly, for all the world to acclaim.
For getting older is not a decline,
But an opportunity for my spirit to shine.
So, here's to another year, another chance,
To dance with life's rhythm, to sing and to dance.
To savor the moments, both big and small,
As I journey onward, embracing it all.
