Birthday Poem 35 by John D. Evans

Birthday Poem 35


Hey, hey, hey
As Fat Albert would say
Today is the big day

35 – I made
I’m grown now
No more rippin’ and
Runnin’, getting lost
In all the funin’

I’m taking life seriously
Seeing people come
And go

Rise and fall
And some rise again
A grown man now

Appreciating the freshness
Of spring
The renewing of hope

Another day
Another opportunity
My zillionth chance
To become greater

Wiser and more blessed
A grown man
With grown man responsibilities
Grown man challenges
And a gifted man’s resources

They never end
For I am a rich man
On my birthday
A wealthy man

Because in you
I have a friend
