Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser Poet Free verse

*** BLESSED at 40 ***

*** BLESSED at 40 ***

Forty years of living 
and I am still loving it.
Thank you Father God,
You have blessed my life.

As I walked to whereever,
pedal a cycle, drive a car
ride a small boat or a big ship,
fly with a plane,

tango with the times,
surf with the waves 
of joys and tears,
conquer every struggle.

Battle each fear,
pray for every wish,
I never stop dreaming
I on becoming each year...

Alison A Smith nee Howarth September 9, 2026 at 2:29 AM A warm, uplifting free-verse celebration of gratitude, resilience, and the joy of embracing life’s journey. The flowing catalogue of travel, struggle, dreams, and faith gives the poem an expansive, spirited feel, while its direct prayerful voice makes the milestone deeply personal.
