Life Begins At Forty

Life begins at Forty

          F orty finds its first step facing fearless maturity.
          O rdinary one proceeds onward or is considered celebrity.
          R easoning reckons winning whims to prefer prime priority.
          T ransition takes tough arrogant youth into tolerant seniority.
          Y oung heart glistens ever-young even crossing Forty.
