now, of my three score years and ten
Today I have: moved my body, joyfully, in ways I did not imagine might ever be possible, only a handful of years ago. I've provided expert support for a disability benefits submission. I've contacted people to let them know I can reunite them with things mislaid but also loved. I've played with stationery. I've eaten cake. I've built structures and made music and read books and tended plants. I've watched foxes and a slow worm and a woodpecker (greater spotted, apparently, though I didn't get a good look at it), and listened to the yelling from its nest. I've written to my government -- one small action toward justice. I've put water out for birds.
I've travelled around the sun thirty-five times.
It's been a good day.

... twenty will not come again
and take from seventy springs a score
it leaves me only fifty more
and since to look at things in bloom
fifty springs is little room...

So you're half-way through your expected three-score-and-ten?
In any case, happy birthday!
