Who wants to be reminded<\/p>\n
that you’re getting on age?<\/p>\n
That you’re lots and lots older now,<\/p>\n
from the day you were born?<\/p>\n
From a very active lifestyle<\/p>\n
To a humdrum existence<\/p>\n
To a recurring sore knees<\/p>\n
To an unclasped fists<\/p>\n
To memories left outside the door<\/p>\n
To undecided steps?<\/p>\n
From pigging out to minimalist food intake?<\/p>\n
From rare headache pill to multiple maintenance?<\/p>\n
From a multi-tasker to a “one-at-a-timer” please?<\/p>\n
From infinitesimal sensitivity<\/p>\n
To a “cry me a river” scenario?<\/p>\n
From an unstoppable flicks watching and<\/p>\n
insatiable book reading<\/p>\n
To a bespectacled, myopic-eyed self?<\/p>\n
From a more than 10 hours sleep<\/p>\n
To a 5 or a blinker?<\/p>\n
Who would?<\/p>\n
Not I said the “Bornee”<\/p>\n
Not I said the “Celebrator”<\/p>\n
Not I said the “Septuagenerian-NOT”!<\/p>\n
Age is just a number, really<\/p>\n
Dance and sing to your heart’s content<\/p>\n
Eat everything else, remember,<\/p>\n
you have your maintenance<\/p>\n
Getting old? It’s all in the Mind!<\/p>\n
Enjoy to the fullest..<\/p>\n
So Happy birthday to you, you Gorgeous, Pretty,<\/p>\n
