Erwin's 80th Birthday

 

Erwin’s 80^th Birthday

Where did the years go?

Cannot believe I will be an octogenarian.

But life has showered many blessings.

It is a miracle to be alive.

 

Every day my wife Mary makes me dream.

For, she holds me close to her heart.

I often delight over having our morning coffee.

I love breakfast of cereal, berries, and almond milk.

 

It is the little things that matter most of all.

The warmth of our son Matthew and daughter-in-law Shannon,

Sending cards, and thank-you notes to relatives and friends.

But this 80^th birthday is most symbolic in my life.

It is the age when I continue to battle chronic ailments.

 

Yet, I do try to live a healthy life.

Most times I write, read, and enjoy a good book.

I enjoy delving into the biographies of famous people.

These individuals motivate me to live to my fullest potential.

 

Undoubtedly, I endeavor to eat healthy meals and exercise.

You can catch me three times a week on an exercise bike.

On my birthday on June 3^rd 2023, our family will be in Virginia Beach.

Sunday we will be celebrating after Mass at Church of the Holy Apostles.
