Happy Birthday
Time is speeding by
Another birthday draws near
So now I must say something
Before you shed a tear
I know you said you “would have”
But life’s commitments came to bear
And now you know you “could have”
When at first you ‘came aware
Now looking back to “should have”
Is not the place to be
Not counting all the other things
That you have yet to see
And yes I know, a birthday poem
Should never make you cry
Remember now, life’s oh so short
Stop before you pass it by
