Standing On Top of the Hill

Standing on Top of The Hill

There are three hills
the highest, the second highest, and
the lowest of them all

Well, guess which one I've been climbing for the last year?
I will reach it's top 12 pm Sunday morning Oct. 17, 2010
the day I was born

Yeah, you guess it
I will be 50 years old and
standing on the top of the hill not over the hill

I will be over the hill a year from now
12 pm Monday morning Oct 17, 2011
at the age of 51

I won't celebrate this day or want gifts for this day
I'll just be glad to see it standing on top of the hill 
and not in a wheel chair

Starting my weekend early reading all the amazing poetry of all the wonderful poets here at PoetrySoup. I am so happy to find your poetry posted here this morning Barbara. 51 is not over the hill by no means dear lady. Have a wonderful weekend and I hope you find tons of inspiration along the way as Fall is upon us. Love, Carol
