Life begins at forty or so they say, <br />If that's the case my life starts today, <br />It's funny how a number dictates your life, <br />Because inside my head I've already been there twice, <br /> <br />I look in the mirror at this middle age man, <br />But when I move away from it I feel twenty one, <br />Your as young as you feel isn't that what they say, <br />Well I get up some mornings and feel eighty eight, <br /> <br />My life has been interesting up to now, <br />I've manage to get though some way some how, <br />I know it's just starting all over again, <br />A new chapter in my life with a brand new pen, <br /> <br />I have no regrets; no I wish I did this, <br />As it all happens for a reason not because I wish, <br />I don't get what I want but only what I need, <br />Trying not to feed my ego for the sake of greed, <br /> <br />So when you come up to me and say forty today, <br />IL smile with happiness and say is my prizey on its way. <br /> <br />Kevin Glenn <br />22-03-2011<br /><br />kevin glenn<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/forty-today/
