How old am I?
I’ll be 92 next Christmas
though I won’t admit to one day over 20
Even after all the birthday cards
are cut and shuffled
it’s hard to figure
I’ve aged at least 500 years
since I stumbled into you
Yet I still believe in fairy tales
like “The Princess and the Frog”
perhaps I’m really only 3 or so?
You’ll never know how old I am
but I’ll tell you anyway
I was born the hour we met
and died today
