Forty
After forty days of rain,
Earth could then begin again.
Forty days and nights fasting,
Christ proved he is everlasting.
In forty years, which flies,
a new generation will rise.
Despite all this, oh Lordy!
your life BEGINS at forty!
Written 1/24/2016 for the Silent One
Happy Happy Birthday and it really is true
that life begins at forty!!!
(note: to the American ear, 40 is "fordy"
