Another Undeserved Birthday

Another year older no balder – dash, Wishing I could write my life ('s) perfect poem before I pass Out of this world to the other side, While dreaming of my mother And can’t wait to fly. One more circle around the old solar disk And it won’t be long before I’m not forgetfully missed. Not that I’ve done momentous things Deserving of remembrance too sad to sing But only that I’m still here today, thankfully having another undeserved birth day. © Terrell Martin. 01/17/2025

Hello again my faithful friend, Ilene, you never cease to amaze me with your regular visits to my poems. Words cannot express how much I appreciate your thoughtfulness. I had a wonderful birthday yesterday and still sending thanks to friends & family so my apologies for not visiting you lately but soon will once I'm all caught up. Until then, Warm Wishes /// Terry
