happy birthday

by William P Strucke

one more day has passed us by
another drop in the tides of time.
today, no different from the rest,
a tick on the clock and its in the past.<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office" />

but when were old and looking back,
well see we missed our time to act.
with every second we locked away
we missed a chance to enjoy the day.

its the memories we make that define our lives,
its who we see looking into our eyes,
the fog of time will hide most things,
but the minutes we share with our family and friends

so now is the time to have some fun,
savor each moment you have while youre young.
this day of all days is here just for you,
so have a wonderful birthday, and remember it too.

So true so true. Don't think the message could be expressed any better. Carpe diem.
