Guess, if you wonder:Sleep retrieves
unrealized dreams.
unrealized dreams.
Wear longer sleeves,
looser seams.
Don sunscreens
with firming creams.
with firming creams.
form quicker mends,
communing first
for less outbursts.
Quench deeper thirsts.
Eat dessert first.
In 55 hours,
I'm 55 minus five.
If you can read this,
be glad we’re alive.

Have good half century day. The numbers mean nothing it's all in the attitude.
ReplyDeleteI really liked the couplet forms found here today.
i hope you have a happy birthday and we are glad you are alive, to grace us with your words! nice 55!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday! Remember if you aren't getting older you are dead. Thanks for visiting mine! BTW..the firming cream line really resonates with me, LOL. I went wrinkle cream crazy last summer. Damn getting old!
ReplyDeleteI think the best advice is to start with dessert - especially if it's your birthday!
ReplyDeleteGreat 55. It appears Happy birthday is in order as well. Mrs. MM's was yesterday. My 55 is HERE.
ReplyDeleteClever you. Happy Birthday. And that picture, ha!

That's the best birthday verse I've ever read! Amen to eating dessert first -- and I love that photo.
ReplyDeleteLast week my connection crapped out on me and I missed this -- I'm so glad I checked back now because you've really put a smile on my face.
Happy Birthday!! (sorry I'm late!)
