For wine & cheese ... age counts.
For you ... it doesn't matter.
When we were younger
milestones to reach.
Very special birthdays
with lessons to teach.
Thirteen and sixteen
both deserve stars.
For emotional drama
and piloting cars.
And eighteen and twenty one
follow in a blink.
Allowing us to vote
milestones to reach.
Very special birthdays
with lessons to teach.
Thirteen and sixteen
both deserve stars.
For emotional drama
and piloting cars.
And eighteen and twenty one
follow in a blink.
Allowing us to vote
and legally drink.
But then something happens
the word becomes dirty.
As each passing birthday
brings us closer to thirty.
The excitement then fades
as the years they fly by.
With the Big Four – O
on the horizon looming nigh.
But it passes too
and soon fifty awaits.
Making us leery
of our annual dates.
But do not despair
for I love you my dear.
On this day of celebration
of your forty ninth year.
And always remember
it’s YOU the day is for.

For age is but a number
and absolutely nothing more.
and absolutely nothing more.
Happy Birthday Beth!
