Pondering on my birthday.
Birthday Thoughts
by Marilyn Mackenzie



Aren't we supposed to get wiser as we grow older?


I learned so much.
In fifty-four years.
I learned so much
Through smiles and tears.


I learned about men
‘Bout nature and God.
I learned and I learned,
But isn’t it odd?


How much I forgot?




*****************


There's nothing new under the sun...


For only God can make a tree
And only God can comfort me.

How could I forget?
