Birthday

 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

About Sailor

Yup, it's me! The author of all you read here (except for the comments of course). Having been asked to write a short article for "About Yourself", I was forced to labor (for a moment-or-two), upon what eloquent words I might use to explain myself. ................................................................................................................ This simple thought process yielded an even simpler solution. You need but read the words I have published here. All the writings (except for the Comments), are copyrighted ©, the moment the "post" is digitized and made available to the world (WWW) by the servers at namecheap, the best Hosting service you'll ever need. http://www.namecheap.com?aff=15525 Please read: "Proprietary Rights". ............................................................................................................. Now, to continue with "About Me". I am sure you will find a few of my views embedded within my poems, and, if I would quit procrastinating, within the chapters of my future novels. .............................................................................................................. I would ask you all to subscribe to "RANDOM THOUGHTS"
