Fifty-Five

"Saturday is my birthday I turn 55. I'm so old" On this blank page, I write One blink at a time in delight Of one woman so bright Of one woman young at heart with no doubt Of one woman who has been strong in her plight She is one that leads by the light

I didn't think this was about you. Half way to 55 is a good distance.

When I put those words in quotation marks at the beginning of the poem, I thought it would be easy to tell that I was actually quoting someone else. But I've been loving all the birthday wishes. Thank u a lot Richard for visiting another of my poem
