Your voice hasn’t changed.
You’re a lean, mean sixty five
You’re championing infinity
as far as I’m concerned

Parties have come close to this,
but not many times, before.

I saw happiness reach your eyes,
your heart filling it’s cup.

Your voice hasn’t change.
Your face has barely aged.

Life is better these days.
Cassy is clean
and you’re still a machine.

I guess some things still stay the same,
even when all else is changing.

Your trailer has gone to a new home,
along with your swings
and grandpa Woss,
has gone home to Jesus.

But you’re still, here
in your same home,
the same yard
where we’ve revelled many times, before.

We’re here.
We’re cerebrating another year.

And,
Your smile is still the same.

    I love this piece. It’s wonderful to have something, or rather someone, who is constant in this ever changing world. Here’s hoping they stay like that forever!

      Thank you so much, Linda! It truly is a blessing. The day of his party I was feeling under the weather but decided to go and I’m grateful I did. He kept thanking me and my brother for coming. I really treasure family traditions, especially with people having moved away or passing on. It just makes these events so much more meaningful.

      Thank you !!!!!! I have so many great memories with my uncle Andy and my cousins. Being at his birthday party brought so many memories back. A lot of family was sick and couldn’t make it. I’m grateful that even though I started the day feeling under the weather. It was just allergies, thank God. Age is absolutely just a number and he’s aging well, thankfully.
