Ode to Cathy’s 40th Birthday....

Ode to Cathy’s 40th Birthday....

Forty years have come and gone
Forty years since birth
40 summers, 40 springs
Forty years on earth.

You’ve had sorrows, you’ve been sad
You’ve cried your share of tears
Yet you’ve had laughter, you’ve been glad
Throughout those forty years.

They say that wisdom comes with age
But wisdom has a price.
As beauty fades, your soul breaks free
Enjoy, is my advice!

And even though you’re forty now
It’s not that bad, you see...
You could be short and round and plump
And be as old as me!

Written for my “younger” sister....
....because she is 40!
