Forty And Loving It

Fooled by her voice I asked may I speak

Only to be caught with tongue in cheek

Relaxed in bed, she was nursing a cold

The new day meant she was now forty years old

Yet she was as alive as a 30 years old girl

And with breakfast in bed she felt like a precious pearl

Nothing to do except later prepare

Dinner promised to be exquisite on expensive dinnerware

Lunch was at Almond Beach with personal entourage

One hour in the spa then a facial and massage

Voice may have masked her but only temporary

I could hear my friend in all of her glee

No apparent problems just happy to celebrate

Gifts from her children, family and friends of late

I bought her nothing but you know Lord I pray

That she becomes independent and enjoys every Birthday.
