40 years later- POEM

 

It's almost here,

my thirties...

coming,

and going,

in a blink of an eye

I'm happy,

yet,

why do I feel nervous,

anxious,

frightened,

will this be...

my last decade?

I don't think so,

I should be happy,

having another birthday,

come and go,

like that,

I'm only 39,

for a few more days

I'm not the only one,

turning 40,

Scarlett Johannsen,

LeBron James,

Kelly Osbourne,

and many more

Even certain movies,

like Ghostbusters,

Nightmare on Elm Street,

are now 

40,

I will soon,

be that age

I feel like,

I've aged,

like fine wine,

to perfection,

another year,

coming and going,

but this one,

is more enchanted,

than any other

It's my turn,

it's my time,

my becoming,

another age,

and I'm not afraid,

anymore,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME
