happy birthday to me

and when I'm sixty
and my hair still shines, my smile
touches the world, when I am still
running down the path, a little black dog
running beside me, I will know I have aged
well.
and when I am sixty and I still hope
for peace, when I still keep a small ecological
footprint and don't chase the dollar, I know I will
have kept my values and will have aged well.
and when I am sixty and I am grateful for
all I have, and have forgiven or forgotten past
insults and hurts, from myself or others,
I will have aged well.
