Happy birthday! My mother will be joining you at that age on the 30th of this month...and she doesn't look a day over 36 either, ha! (Yeah, I just switched the numbers like a dork). And may you (and she) have 36 more years.

Great poetry and a great spirit, at your young age you still have a fun spirit of a child, to ride a wooden horse. I am jealous of your horse, I also want one for my next birthday. Lol.

Good

this is a fine 5-7-5 dear chrissy. however it is slightly tedious. not everyone can relate to your age group but i get the humor behind it.
thank you for sharing!
good luck!
blessings!

Happy Birthday. Aging is something we all do, ready or not. This is very well written with a smooth flow of words, making for a very good read. Art Linkletter had the correct idea. Instead of saying my 63rd birthday, use, "I am celebrating the forty second anniversary of my twenty-first birtday.

Many, many happy returns of the day. You have chosen a novel theme coinciding with your birthday to take part in 5-7-5 contest. In addition to two quotes in your author notes which are also my favorite, I would like to add one more on aging. "You are as old as you think." The image fits with this quote.

Thank you very much scd41 for having a read and sending me a review and birthday wishes too. I always say Many Happy returns to(my Dad used to say that as well ) so I thought I would do this 5-7-5 as a memory for this occasion and you are right not as old as you think lol. (I am always ready to sit on any animal statue I have quite a few photos but I like this one this year) Even get my face painted with the grandies . so a big Cheers for you Christine😃

_ Good luck in the contest.

Cheers & Blessings

Hello :)

Are you sure you are 63? You look very young in the picture. :) and I don't mean because you are riding the horsey. You look good girl! I like your 5/7/5 in honor of your birthday. I think everyone should celebrate being alive. Good job on the syllable count.

Hi Gypsy yes that is me trying to ward off the years. I do try to keep fit but having a good hairdresser helps too lol. Thought I would do a 5-7-5 for the day contest calling ha ha. Cheers to my friend Christine😄

Well, I just have to agree that 1952 was a very good year - I'm 8 months older than you!

Good to see the inner child is still functioning well.

Have a great day.
