YOU'RE
HOW OLD?
If
we seem to marvel
as
life turns a page,
It's
because we're doubtful
of
your stated age.
You
are well preserved,
in
your health and your mind
"You
say you're how old?"
We're
not just being kind.
Your
sweet and gentle nature,
your
helpful caring ways;
Has
made us appreciate
seeing
you each day.
You
overflow with knowledge,
seems
nothing you don't know;
But
you share it all with grace,
not
putting on a show.
May
we all be like you,
as
time falls slowly through;
A
person of worth and dignity,
tested
and proven true.
So
Terry, Happy Birthday,
enjoy
it like you're told;
But
we still don't believe
that
you are sixty years old!
