Happy Birthday (48)!

With birthday number forty-eight

I’m here to set the record straight:

The greatest gift that can be found

Is family and friends all round.

I’ll take the gifts; I’ll take the cake;

I’ll take a trip down to the lake,

But what I will remember best

Is time to love and time to rest.

I slept in late and ate my fill,

I had some time to just sit still.

I heard the happy birthday song

And stayed with Mom all day long.

I’ll walk the dog and talk to Rick,

The dinner menu is my pick,

And when I go to sleep tonight
I will have spent my day just right.
