Today he turns forty!

Really??

Age to be naughty….???

He asks…

“Should I now ,

color my hair,

to look more dapper?

or let it be as it is,

Salt and Pepper?”

“Should I let,

my belly be,

Or do you prefer

a fitter me?”

I look at him,

and I look at me…

I still see ..

the younger us!!

Only…

A little grey here

A little plump there..

A little more grumpy,

A little more fussy..

But nothing’s really changed–

We still love each other

We still pester each other…

So I smile and say..

“You look just fine”

“That is why I love you”

Thus says he.

Lifting me up,

With a twinkle in his eyes,

he says…

“Lets Celebrate..

I am allowed to be naughty,

Why, I just turned forty!!”

 

 

 

My husband turned forty today and between all the baking and cooking for his birthday celebration , I managed to write this poem as today’s entry.
