TWENTY SOMETHING

Turning one more year today
another addition feather in this life’s convoy
I realize time flies fast, flashy
and the hand of time waits for no sundry
it is another move to the edge
another step from the ledge
I realize I’ve got to leave the hedge
for responsibility flies on age
I am scared
scared of growing old
afraid of turning cold
as I grey
afraid of failing to garner enough gold
I’m scared of the turning numbers
the speeding of mine days
YET I am grateful
for God has been faithful
making my days full
healthy and strong
YET I am grateful
for those days of fulfillment
for those days of want.
Moments of happiness
and moments of sadness
Yes I am grateful
for making it this far
turning twenty something years
Its a day to reflect
and memories to collect
churn one more thread
in this mine crochet
get synced in the rhythms of the fleeting
moment
appreciate every breathe
live consciously of eternity
Man’s mortality
Man’s frailty
It is a day to defect;
transit from all that which will affect,
mine destiny
clean up my closet
shove aside all clutter
Yes I’m twenty something years old
and this plucks a chord in my soul
Yet I’m grateful to God
for his unfailing grace.
This glass is raised
a toast to you all
for being part of my story
my history
Smile with me as we make a memory
a chapter for the century.
