Megan’s Birthday Ladder

Happy Birthday Lettsy

Another chapter 

in my book
since the last one
it seems ages

All that intrigue 
in my story

Keeps me turning
all those pages

It seems a shame
just once a year

My assertion 
so much bolder

Not taking note 
of Mom’s advice

“Staying young 
beats getting older”

Well there you go
I just can’t wait
feeling seriously
too young

This time next year
a brand new look

As I climb 
each older rung

Loosely based on Bob Dylan's 'Forever Young'
