Too early to pass judgment - there’s no way
you can assess easily whether this birthday
will be the best ever; it is safer to say any a
year you survive rests where accolades are
rare salutes earned on life’s event parade
all the reward needed to be thankful and at
peace, no need for gaudy tributes or lease
feasting on fancies you’ll seldom see make
the grade to gratuitous embrace anyway
and comfortable began a day to keep mind
of what cannot be changed; there’s many a
decade between you & what once was, yet
what is does not judge that separation
