The Best Is Still To Come

Folder: 
Essay

Today is my Birth Day, a very special day,
I reckon I will tarry, it is my priority,
Nothing can make me work, think or repay,
All the wasted years, I decided to be lazy.

Today I will account for, the years I lived and played
Places I've been to, people I loved and dreaded,
Without a trace of sadness, regret or condemnation,
I will be grateful for the chance given to me.

If I were to live again, given this opportunity,
Nothing can make me change my entire personality,
I will love and laugh until my tears are dried,
I will write my poems, until I'm old and gray.

I am a year older, but happier and free,
And let me tell you my secret, for feeling this way,
There is a saying, that I believed to be,
The best is still to come, whether your one or fifty.

 

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I had to compose this poem, since this is my favorite saying.
