Birthday Bash Relay. Excited on Second Place! Now for various WDC contests and activities |
Day Nine: THE BEST OR WORST THINGS ABOUT BIRTHDAYS Just as every coin has two sides "Heads" and "Tails" So each situation has a duality "Successes" and "Fails". Grasp the coin in your hand You can't ignore one side For the better or the worse You must take the whole ride. The best thing about a birthday Is you get to be a year older You've gathered more experiences Perhaps you're getting bolder. But the flip side of that Is that the body's wearing down You get more tired doing things Smiling takes effort - so you frown. Then there are the presents Lovely things that should bring bliss And all you can say is, "Thanks, but where do I put this?" The phone calls to be answered Each message, each email Brings tears of joy and gratitude But - your hearing's getting frail So it's an effort to respond To the multitude You're thankful for their wishes But project a sullen attitude. There might be a chocolate cake That you just can't resist You eat a great big piece And your indigestion does persist. At the end of the day you're glad That it happened AND that it's done But you wouldn't trade it for anything Through it all, it was great fun! So it's about your perception Whether it's best or worst It is what it is, you know Are you blessed or cursed? LINE COUNT - 40 |
