Sandra Haight Poet Verse

Notes About The Poem

Only Forty

Only Forty


Twenty-one million twenty-four thousand minutes went

Three hundred fifty thousand four hundred hours spent

Fourteen thousand six hundred days flew by

Two thousand eighty-five weeks, oh my

Four hundred eighty months. Now it is understood

'Forty' years sounds really good!
