looking afraid..
Another birthday
Over once again
Not ready to think
About another one
Beginning again
I have to now say
That for one single day
I turned the ripe old
Of a young 59
I don’t know why
It scares me like it does
But I am afraid of
Getting older
And afraid to die
I look at my skin
And I can see its age
I look at my eyes
And can see the new sag
But on the other hand
I have to think right
I have lived half
Of my life
And it wasn’t too bad
I hope for the best
And refuse to
Think the worst
I will just enjoy
Each day
And live like
It’s the last

Hope you had a joyous birthday… remember, as long as our life is lived for the Lord, as we look back over the years, it is a blessing realizing they were not wasted years. Then we can look forward and trust that there are many exciting days of service that life ahead. Lord bless you.

I had a nice calm birthday with me and my camera and Al. I do hope for better days, although I see my past has taught me to be where I am today. Through mistakes I have found God and that is the goal for everyone, so I am glad for some of my own errors
