Today is another birthday
But I do not want you to feel old
Although the aches and pains of aging
On your body may take hold





For there is a youthful quality about you
After which others should mold
It's how you reach out to others
With actions that are bold





This is not just my opinion
For by others I've been told
That at the center of your being
There lies a heart of gold





Always loving and forgiving
Your feelings never running cold
If friendship could be bought
To you I would be sold
