It's My Birthday Poem by Randy McClave

Today it is my birthday
So, I will give myself a big hooray,
I am another year older
And now I am a AARP card holder.
I proudly looked over my past year
With a smile and also a cheer,
I finally made it down the road
Another year for me to get old.
I have survived another year of aches and pain
And also another year of snow and rain
I am now a true certified advisor
When today I became another year wiser.
There are no balloons in my house
It is as quiet as a frightened mouse,
No one did or wanted to remember
This one special day for me in September.
There will be no birthday song sung
There will be no horns blown or bells rung,
No presents and of course no cake or card
Will ever clutter my house or even my yard.
It is just another forgettable event
For me to laugh about and then later vent,
No birthday candles for me will be lit
It's my birthday, so all will forget.
