I was born
on the
twenty-ninth of December
nineteen sixty-eight,
it should have been
the twenty-fifth
but my mother was late.
A Christmas bundle of joy,
I was to be her fourth boy.
Destined to be
the youngest of seven
whilst one had already
been returned to heaven.
I was named after
an uncle I would never meet
then securely wrapped
in a little white sheet.
Weighing in at
over nine pounds,
my arrival was met
by joyous sounds.
Fifty years have passed
without warning,
now the next chapter
starts in the morning.

Happy Birthday, hope you enjoy your day π
