Two decades plus something and counting
My life in this world is taking shape finally
The Twists and turns of the world I'm now understanding
And I'm beginning to treat life more maturely
Fast forward to the not so distant future
I see myself a married and established being
Instilling into my children a wonderful culture
And strapping them in my SUV so we can go sightseeing
All said and done, today happens to be my birthday
I've had so many good wishes from friends and acquaintances
Hoping i enjoy to the fullest this wonderful day
This day will certainly leave fond memories
