Poem
Everything crosses my eyes now Happy, blessed, grateful Never shall I be regretful This is how I feel right now Contented, peace in mind Youth blossoming inside Glee glittering through my mouth Joy starring my life Before, as I now can recall 15 was a smile, was a song Years boastfully crawling One by one me embracing Age was cool, light and more than welcome Hiding behind heavy years to come. 20 fervently greeted A princess in a kingdom hailing A rose in beauty blooming A heart in love dancing Blessings for granted taken unaware I didn’t then, now I do care. 30 then of age aware I became Giving life to parts of me Rejoicing my share of my fate Beyond my world, life wasn’t the same Looking from a far Couldn’t see me, that’s not fine Dreams, love, beauty unable to outshine. When 40 I tried to reconcile with the me outside Youth still struggling inside Aging in body and mind Very cold when harsh times crossed my path Ageless deep in the heart Speechless when hurt turned into wrath Youth and age side by side That’s life, that’s fate, that’s fair. Now 50, what shall I say? Youth I have dearly embraced Age I have so far this honour been granted Age is a state of heart and mind I dare say Youth is what I conceive in my heart my way Both are joy and rage Youth and age I you adore Through you I appreciated both of you more and more God, for this and all the blessings I infinitely do thank you I blow out my candles today What shall I say? Happy 50 year-old Day! September , 2016
