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.
