Birthday 2020

I sometimes wish you joy, or peace, or hope. 

I always wish you Love,

and not just on your birthday, nope,

see, we’re always hand-in-glove.

These older birthdays might

lead one to cop an attitude,

but really, the thing most right

is to live this day with gratitude.

Even though we can’t sit on the sand,

we can still observe the tide,

we can hit the beach by car, and

think of where we’ll ride.

We’ll eat some pricey food,

and I filled the tank with gas,

so we can elevate our mood,

knowing all dislikes will pass.

You’ll soon be your old self,

happily tending to your head,

your help will come off the shelf,

that gray returned to red!
