 Happy Birthday! (78) “Carlos”!
(January 2, 2025)
 
Live yet another day to enjoy warm-gold sunshine!
Mind thinks it’s “18” killing this old body of mine!
“You don’t look a day older than___(?)…They forgot?
So glad they didn’t laugh, “Older than---What?”
“Rock-’n-roll” is here to stay & I’ll be just fine!
 
Amen!
 
 
Sure-enough! Reckon-so! Some just never seem to “grow-up”!
Seen-the-elephant!”?---Adults, too!...No! Thanks! Buttercup!
 
Amen!
 
Rainbows! Butterflies! Unicorns!
Faith! Family! Freedom!
Life!-Love! Appreciation!
 
Let the “Good”-times roll-on!
I WON that most-elusive “Lottery-of-Life”!
 
C’mon!---Get aboard!...Just don’t stand on the tracks!
 
Amen!
 
Happy Birthday! Old-boy! I’ve only just begun! Betcha!
 
Amen!
 
Places-to-go! People-to-see! Things-to-do!
Tracks-to-leave! Shadows-to-visit! Full-moons-to-embrace!
Whisper-winds-to-listen! Snowflakes-to-chill-glisten!
 
Amen!
 
Caught yon Fantasy Crystal-unicorn to soar the eternal cosmos-Wild!
 
Might? With Luck? Plant a few more trees adding to the tally-count?
 
Know “What(?)” you can get away with when you’re---Crazy?...Anything!
 
Amen!
