Many years from now.
Will you still be sending me a Valentine
Birthday greetings bottle of wine.
When I first sang along with this song so many years ago I never gave it much thought that one day this might apply to me. This is not to say that I have reached that plateau in my life where I am looking at the long, downward path that can only lead to a gradual (or perhaps a speedy) circling of the drain.
Yours sincerely, wasting away . . . .
I feel I have a few good years left in me as I reach a milestone celebrated in song. But then there is that nagging question . . . .
Will you still need me, will you still feed me,
When I'm sixty-four? *
