No Birthday This Year

I want to stay 59, do you hear?
No more aging or growing older
So cancel my birthday this year

I’ve given up my youthful fear
With age I’ve grown bolder
I want to stay 59, do you hear?

All my daily schedules dear
are neatly arranged in that folder
So cancel my birthday this year

I’m comfortable in my career
I don’t mind the pain in my shoulder
I want to stay 59, do you hear?

I thought it over, my mind is clear
My blood, once hot, has grown colder
So cancel my birthday this year

When I die …then I’ll smolder
But for now I won’t get older
I want to stay 59, do you hear?
So cancel my birthday this year.

This is a birthday wish for the twins,
my brother and sister who celebrated
their birthdays yesterday.
