Linda

The skies on high may be gray.
Do not let the rain get in your way,
as all of those, and us, do pray
that this – your mid century – birthday
is one, filled with lots of sunshine,
full of wonderful memories – sublime –
of family, friends and a glorious time.
This wish for your fiftieth – from me and mine.

 Just remember,
this September,
that turning fifty
can be kind of nifty,
for an old Broad.
