Is age merely but a number?
No bolstering of the spirit!
Face wrinkled like a cucumber;
Is age merely but a number?
Never ending days of slumber;
Gentle duties now my remit;
Is age merely but a number ?
No bolstering of the spirit!

Hello Paul,
Yes, age is only a number. You are only as old as you feel. The number tells us how many years we have been lucky enough to live. Think of the alternative to being wrinkled and dried up and rejoice that you are you and be as happy as you can be. I had a birthday June 7th and got pink roses and gifts. I felt loved. I wish the same for you. Love, Sylvia P.S. I really liked the poem!!!

Hello Sylvia,
Many belated happy returns. Actually, I had truly forgotten my impending birthday. It was my daughter, Maria who reminded me. Once I have come to terms with being officially a year older, I will of course enjoy the celebration. Thanks for your very suportive words. Best wishes, Paul |

Hi Twilight,
You really spoil me with your very colourful good wishes! Many thanks indeed. Very much a tongue-in-cheek piece. I very much enjoyed it, it was just those comedians who kept on asking me what it was like in in The Crimean War! This was the best answer that came to mind. Thanks once again. Best wishes, Paul |
