Today I Am Sixty
Today I am sixty
and
I'm feeling quite wise.
I
don't feel very different;
then, I look at my eyes
I've
got little pouches
and
several small lines
and
my hands are now wrinkly
and
I've lost my behind!
I
think of my parents
this
birthday morning,
how
my mom had a tough time
while I was a'borning,
and
my dad was so proud
and
my grandparents, too,
later on, dad and granddad
would fight - yes, it's True!
I
had a great childhood
I
was loved, and well fed ~
I
had new clothes for school,
and
clean sheets on my bed.
I
had friends down the block,
and
stories at night,
and
3 younger brothers
which was quite all right.
I
was13, when mom
had
my little sis ~
and
I thought to myself -
Can't get better than this!
My
parents are gone,
the
grandparents, too,
Now
I am a grandma
and
I'm here to tell you
that
I'm glad I've reached 60
with
most of my mind
and
my weird sense of humor
and
my sagging behind.....
So,
I send you my love
on
my special day
Because you mean more
Than
I ever could say.
