My Birthday

My Birthday

My birthday is soon to come, twenty nine I will be.
You’re approaching thirty, all my friends will say.

You’re getting OLD, they will all laugh.
No more fun and games for you, they will all say.

“You’re all older than me”, I will reply.. You’ve all the

passed the hump and are on your way to the hill.

Soon we’ll all be fifty, with walkers and canes at our sides.
No more pizza and wings for us, we’ll all be crying.

My nieces and nephews, will be saying grandma NO,

that’s Not how that works, help me please I will say, for

I’m old And don’t know the new ways.

Together we will climb the great Mountain of life,

laughing and singing all the way, Jesus is waiting for

us, to bless us this day.
