THE BIRTHDAY CARD

I got your birthday card today.
How kind of you
To remember me and celebrate
The aging process one more time;
Though at this age the celebration
Seems more a sigh than it is a shout,
And time accelerates as we begin
To mellow in the wine.

And yet you took the time,
You bought the stamp,
You licked the envelope,
And placed it lovingly into the mailbox
Speeding it my way.
And you must know just what it meant,
This krimpet filled with sentiment,
This funny little card you sent
Designed to make my day.
