Victoria Scott-Johnson Poet Rhyme

Turning 60

I woke up this morning
And 60 was staring in my face
I wondered out loud
Can I continue on with grace
I have lines and scars
To prove all those 60 years
So many, many memories 
With happy and sad tears
I have had three kids
Losing one, that God took
I must say, living through that
Gave my heart a raw look
He's showed me that life
Should not be taken at ease
To always be kind to others
And to never be mean or tease
I found out what God had
In store for me, to this date
He gave me a sweet little dog
And has given me my soul mate 
So whatever time I have left
I'll take them all in stride
Living each day to the fullest 
And I'll have God by my side

Jeff Kyser October 1, 2022 at 2:23 PM You're just getting started, Victoria! I'm 61, and I certainly hope that's true. The years get better and better, but they get faster and faster, so pay attention! :-) Enjoyed, thanks.
