Timeline :-)

 Year by year, to stand in line:

68, then 69 -

If you’re calm or rather raging,

Nothing changes constant aging…

Do you fight or just surrender,

Like it slender or with splendour?

Swallowing your fate or chewing -

Year by year in line and queuing…

11th of October, wow:

6 months have past now anyhow -

3 times survived this year, let's see

Will I enjoy my 70?!

 h.a. :-)

7 x 10...

To drift to Heaven

Anyhow…?

My birthday: Seven

Decades - Wow!

How strange: confined

Yet still so glad (!)

And quarantined

I am! How mad...

So: still on earth,

Not yet above…

My Birthday’s mirth:

Still breathe and love!

Once deeply met:

Two decades' life -

All blessings set

By you, dear wife!

70!

Gen Himmel stieben

Irgendwie?

Schon zehnmal sieben

Jährchen, sieh!

Verwundert wähne

Ich beglückt (!)

In Quarantäne

Mich! Verrückt ...

Auf Erden so, noch

 Nicht dort drüben -

Geburtstagsfroh: noch

Atmen, lieben!

Einst tief begegnet:

Zwanzig (!) - schau ...

Durch Dich gesegnet,

Liebe Frau!
