Another Birthday, Another Good Day

You know it seems that the birthdays, roll around every year,
And to see the big numbers roll up, can bring the celebrated to tears,
You know the older that I get, the more that time flies by,
I can’t seem to slow it down, no matter how hard I try,
But the speed isn’t that important, it’s how much of it I waste,
Lord help it slow down so I can savor it, and not just get a taste,
For there is so much I need to do, there just isn’t enough time,
With all the candles on my cake it’s almost arson, and that surely is a crime,
But as old as the calendar may say I am, I’m not ready for the rocking chair,
And if you want to make an issue of it, well I’m loaded for bear,
So I will just keep chugging along, and thank God for another day,
But if you happen to see me driving, you may want to get out of my way.
