I'm 40

by William R. Potter — Read all 18 poems by William R. Potter

I have enjoyed my thirties, however, it’s time to turn the page and see what the next chapter has in store.

Poem Artwork

I’m 40

 

 


I can’t see

Where this road will lead.

When I count my blessings

I’ve all I need.

 

I know I’m still young

Sometimes I feel old

You are my jacket

I’m never cold.

 

I’ve lost a few times

But I’m still in the race

With love in my heart

And a smile on my face.

 

I’m busy now

No time for sad

When little voices

Say I love you Dad.

 

I don’t have all the answers

Or a silver spoon

So I’ll sip my coffee

Beneath a daylight moon

 

Things will change

Or stay the same

The sun will shine

Or downpour rain

 

Everything’s okay

It’s as it should be

I’m doing fine

So please don’t mind me

 

I’m 40

I've got ten years on you, bub! Will be fifty in June! *sighhhh* Oh, to be 40 again, or better yet, 30 or even 20! LOL Enjoy your youth while you have it; the years fly by quicker as you age! TRUST me on that!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D

William, we don't have much choice, and all of it is a struggle of varying degrees of ease and difficulty, almost a game, and a game.

I hit 39 last week... My husband keeps telling me that 40's are better than 30's.
