Poem: Birthday Musings

Another trip around the sun
I don't have time
to get philosophical
when real life
goes on.

Kids have a half day of school
Christmas in a week
presents to wrap
last minute gifts to get
family trip to plan

And yet

a year older
but not necessarily a year wiser
the twenty-first anniversary
of my twenty-ninth birthday
but I hardly feel it

There are places to go
things to do
people to meet
stories to write
and life to live.
