It's Cory's birthday, this he knows. though he denies it still it shows

The furrowed brow and feet of crows Grow more pronounced each day

And yet he's earned them, every one. sometimes with worry sometimes fun

A life well lived and he's not done. with years ahead to play

Re-tire-ment is just the start. upon this stage he'll play his part

His friends, good works, and his big heart. Can surely show us all the way
