Feliz Cumpleaños Mi Ami!

The year have crept up but not piled on. My friend is first to admit to her maturity and to sing the pride of family with her two sons and husband. But when it all boils down to it, seeing her is like seeing someone half her age. She is a live wire with no end to a day. I am glad I know my friend and home she has many, many years of good health.

 

¡Feliz Cumpleaños Mi Ami!

 

Fifty, is it? Could that be true?

Even if you still look like the gal I once knew

Like you can run with spirit the 100 metres dash

Initiate procedures and be done in a flash

Zealous still, with that spring in your feet

 

Collected thoughts and each idea complete

Used to be that time grabbed hold at this age

Most people slowed and turned a new page

People retired or got tired, one of these

Life showed them a blockage, “No through traffic please!”

Everyone would pack up and prepare to depart

And this age, people used to prepare to restart

Now, I don’t know, you seem to be going on 25

Out doing those 20 years younger with lots of drive

Sharing a joke with others, still full of wit

 

My mind may have deceived me but aren’t you unusually fit

I wanted to celebrate today but it seems wrong some how

 

A person so young at 50, and so bubbly now

May have stopped aging, surging through life’s freeway

I wanted to wish you today a Happy Birthday!

 

 

A Special Card for you
