Day 767 of the Daily Poems, a January morning in 2025, and we are all another year older; but for our poet Alwyn Marriage one of these mornings will be a birthday morning. And it is also the birthday (9th January) of Kate, Princess of Wales, whom we salute.
Birthday morning
So here I am, another year older,
and I hadn’t quite got used to being
the age I was last year.
Like many others, I’ve discovered
that as the numbers rise
they change more quickly.
