*****************************
Another birthday has come and gone
I am a year older
But am I a year wiser?
I doubt it
Birthdays can be joyous occasions
But they can also be filled
With memories, sadness, sorrow, pain
This year, I celebrated my 40th
During the coronavirus pandemic
What a way to celebrate
I wont forget
This birthday or this year
In a hurry
I celebrated
With a family call on zoom
And a cake with candles
A Jin and tonic
in my hand
As my family all sang
Happy birthday
And remembered
My past birthdays
It was a special time for me
My 40th birthday
And I loved every minute

It’s my 40th in just over a month…sure it’s going to be quite similar. But, I’m okay with that. I’d rather have a meaningful Zoom meeting with family, than an outing that will take me three days to recover from haha
