My Just-for-Fun Birthday Poem

Oh, happy birthday fun!

Today I am seventy-one!

So thankful God gave me this race to run 

And allowed me the joy of being seventy-one.

I'll rise early with the sun

And celebrate 'til the day is done.

I'll start the day with a birthday bun

Knowing there's a birthday cake to come!

I'll spend the day golfing with my hon.

Thankful for my two daughters and a son.

Thirteen grandchildren I love a ton.

In this race called life I'd say I've won.
Another birthday I will not shun

Because God's plan for me it is not done.

Another book I've just begun!

Hooray! Leukemia has come undone!
Trusting targeted therapy will prevent a rerun!
So, I refuse to be happy birthday blue.

As I pray God gives me birthday seventy-two!

Happy Birthday Splashes of Serenity on me today!
