Another year completed in a life full of love,
That love for life that has been with you forever.
You look back over that life
And see the ups and downs,
The downs can be so sad and melancholy.
But as you look back the ups are so fulfilling
Bringing each new day and each new year
To this place,
This place where you arrive today,
That day of your birthday.
Another year now gone
But still plenty more to come.

May you still be wishing her when she’s 100 or more
I certainly hope so Suresh.

A fine write Gold.
I thought it was about me - 'still plenty more to come'. We've had birthdays since at least least before 1066!
Thanks Orchi.
And thousands of years before that!!
Lovely, reflective composition. I hear it's someone's birthday; Happy Birthday Dude!
Thank you Kevin.
