Teddy Kimathi Poet Free verse

Forty

Bliss and ecstasy vibrate within
me, as everyone I have
known in my life gathers
in a blissful, warm circle, 
all ready to celebrate my 
birthday. A candle standing above
number forty reminds me I’ve
lived a quarter century miraculously!

Richard Lamoureux January 26, 2016 at 9:42 AM You're off a bit on the math but I enjoyed your celebratory poem. Congrats on your win. I do however hope that forty is a quarter of your life and that you make it to 160 and beyond. Teddy Kimathi January 28, 2016 at 6:31 AM Hahaha. Indeed 160 years is by the grace of God. Thank you for enjoying my work!! :-)
