Birthday
Posted in Literature, Poetry, and Books by Peter W. Schramm
Consider this, "The Four Ages of Man," from Yeats:
He with body waged a fight,But body won; it walks upright.
Then he struggled with the heart;
Innocence and peace depart.
Then he struggled with the mind;
His proud heart he left behind.
Now his wars on God begin;
At stroke of midnight God shall win.

I hope your birthday has been a happy one.
I join Kate in wishing you the best.
I note that another "birthday" is coming fast - 55 years an American in the United States.
Happy Birthday, Peter.
