I thought you would age me
I would grow old instantly
Nevermore be known by my given name alone
Always a title before me

Torn between joy and melting time
On the threshold of a new experience
I am going to adopt that ancient name
Of support hose, bifocals and love.

In that first instant we eyed each other
I was destined for defeat
You captured myself, my heart, all of me
I sank into your well-being of happiness

Call me Granny, call me Nanny
Call me any time of day
You didn’t age me, Keeley
You took my breath away.

LOVE YOU! xxxxx
Happy Birthday Chicken!!!!
