The time has come for us to make good cheer,
To raise a glass, to raise our spirits high.
For now today we celebrate a birth
And happiness is seen in every eye.
I’m talking of a very special day
That only comes but once in every year.
We have cake; we have glasses filled with wine.
We have a cheerful song to fill your ear.
I’m talking about a birthday you fool!
You may not want to see it but it’s here.
And you should feel yourself lucky to see
A chance to celebrate another year.
Slap me down if I have gone on too long
Taking time to party is never wrong.

A New Beginning
Tony couldn’t sit still, crossing and uncrossing his legs, trying to calm his trembling hands as Clara stood at the office window deep in thought. The airline ticket in his shirt pocket moved to the beat of his heart¬– each beat bringing back the nightmare causing memories of the words he’d spoken over ten years ago. Thanks to Clara he’d finally gained the courage to buy that ticket.
