Today I celebrated a Birthday of 3 score and 10

An age not reached by many fine men

Feeling blessed to have made it to this special day

Reflecting upon the bullets I dodged along the way

Proud to have raised a couple of awesome kids

I still picture them as tiny babies inside my closed eyelids

They have long since fled the nest to forge their own way

But I still think about them every single day

Their birthday wishes today brought me infinite joy

I felt like a child receiving a shiny new toy

Greetings from so many friends today filled me with glee

I made firm promises to find time to them soon see

For time passes faster as we are so busy and get older

There are sad moments when we want to cry on a shoulder

Its so comforting to lean on a soulmate in times of uncertainty

If you have no soulmate then just lean on the Cheeky Monkey

We are here to bring you daily words of wisdom and jest

Making you smile or maybe jolt you out of feeling depressed

In a world that seems full of wars, chaos and infinite strife

The Cheeky Monkey injects a daily dose of poetry into your life

STAY CHEEKY MY FRIENDS!!!!!
