A Birthday

Got lots of cards and lots of texts
And phone calls, some with singing,
All filled with happy birthday wishes 
Kith and kin were bringing.

A vase of purple tulips 
Made this rainy day delightful.
(My husband knows I love them 
So his choice was quite insightful.)

A visit to a pretty town
With shops just right for browsing 
Will segue to a hotel room
With views too nice for drowsing.

Tonight a dinner with some friends
Will cap the celebration,
For getting older's so much better
With collaboration.
