that birthday

Post by keithalanhamilton » September 23rd, 2009, 7:53 pm

that birthday
keeps coming back
year after year
as a countdown
to something
whatever
another year of life
that’s the prize
told death
hold on
stand down
I ain’t ready yet
gotta another year
to live, damn-it
for that birthday

9-23-1957

“Damn another birthday to remind me that I’m one more year older; and yet, a birthday doesn’t guarantee me that I’m one more year wiser.”

<center>Happy Birthday, Keith Alan Hamilton!</center>

52 was a good age for me, if i remember correctly... ;)

My wife and soul mate, my partner in crime, SooZen, will be celebrating (actually she's been celebrating all this week!), her birthday, 9.2.5, Friday... another Libra, hah!

May you have a good one!

Thanks everyone for your kind wishes :D

Had a great birthday and it's only the day after that it feels like I have a long time before my next birthday. Geez, after that it seems like a few months and its here again.

Oh well, live on and I wish a happy year filled full of joy for you all :!:

Happy Bday to a fellow Libra! Liked the poem also and I hope for another spin or two around the sun.
