Forty Days

Forty Days





                        Astronomers time track a cycle of forty days 

                       Observe prayer and fasts for sacred forty days 

                             The body and spirit purify in forty days

                           Our naming ceremony is on the fortieth day

                                The boy is naughty as he turns forty!
