Birthday Wishes For Seniors Poem by Philo Yan

Birthday Wishes For Seniors

Rating: 5.0


A Rose is not a Rose without a thorn,
When the edges become a little worn,
The beauty within stands the test of time,
May your wisdom mature like fine wine....

A Rose is not a Rose without the thorn,
A challenging life from the day you were born
The beauty of a rose will fade in time,
Beauty may fade but wisdom matures like wine.

A Rose by any other name,
Would just sound so tame.
Such beauty is the Rose,
Even with thorns, it shows.

Another year has passed
You have passed your test
A clean bill of health
is important than wealth.
For when you have your health
You can then build your wealth!
