Happy Birthday to me!

It was my birthday week this week
forty something but still feeling sleek
Age is just a number or so they say
bring on middle age, come what may

I still feel twenty years in age
but minus a perm, Escort XR3 and a full time wage
Life seems to be zooming by
my knees are feeling it I won't lie

I've celebrated with food and chocolates to add
received lots of cards and love for which I'm glad
Another year older I'm thankful for my life
even if at times it's had a spell of trouble and strife

Life would be boring if all went well
we need a kick up the backside through that temporary bad spell
The bad times make us realise we are in need of a change
light at the end of the tunnel for which we exchange

Later years can be denied by some
so I'm reflecting and hoping to get stuff done
Looking to a positive future and not dwelling on the past
gonna make the birthday's to come with memories to last
