They all said life begins at forty
If this is true why is it I feel so empty
Though I begin to understand the essence of life
I learned the wisdom to select the battles to fight
With thinning hairs and aging skin I look so old
Yet my maturity and confidence is getting bold
My strong legs and sharp mind are slowly waning
I'm glad my patience and wisdom are at least growing
Hypertension and arthritis are slowly surfacing
I now wake up very early in the morning
If this is the life they are really talking
Then I agree in life I'm just beginning
My goal now is no longer getting famous and wealthy
I am contented with what I have as long as I'm healthy
I no longer insist my idea to avoid sorts of argument
I gain friendship by action not with words or statement
One day if I get very lucky
I'll write a book when I reach sixty
For now I'll just enjoy working and writing poems
While my kids are still very young and growing. Bow!
