Birthdays are amazing creatures
Full of contradicting features
They can sometimes be life teachers
Yes, birthdays are amazing creatures
...
Things change with the times-
we know that to be true
Still, there is plenty of room
for both the old and the new
...
I love you in the morning
when dew lies on the grass
As gentle light comes sneaking
and night's shadows slowly pass
...
High up on a mountain top
Waiting for the shoe to drop
Lookin' for the wisdom guy
To get the scoop before I die
...
Today a leaf came down to greet me
Falling gently on a breeze
With intentions to remind me
Of the things I must release
...
Where are you tonight
Without you I am lost
All through the night
I turned and I tossed
...
Nature's stage is green on blue
with drifting mounds of white
As caps of foam keep company
with playful liquid light
...
My ship left port without me
and my run has all run out
If my pep were not all petered
I would surely scream and shout
...
To a northern lake...for solitude
being with myself
evading distractions
needing no busyness
...
Quick, quick, hurry, hurry
time is passing with a flurry
Things to do, no time to linger
life is caught up in a wringer
...
