    The big 40

    Oh my god im 40
    Where have the years all gone
    Wasent it just yesterday
    That i turned 21
    I didnt see the years fly by
    because in my head you see
    Im still that 21 year old
    Still young and trouble free

    Time is like a lioness
    Tracking down her prey
    She just drops in behind you
    And trackes you all the way
    While you are like the antelope
    Grazing on lifes grass
    She's sneeking up behind you
    To bite you on the ass

    As one by one the years go by
    She starts to gather speed
    But your to buzy living
    And still you pass no heed
    Til suddenly she pounces
    And grabs you by the throat
    You try to peddle backwards
    But you havn't got a hope

    Ah so what im 40
    And i have a few gray hairs
    But think of all the fun i had
    Putting each one there
    When i look back upon the years gone by
    And all the things i did
    My marriage to my soulmate
    And my soon to be 4 kids
    Im glad that i am 40
    When i look at all i have
    My life is full and happy
    And 40s not so bad.

    Gerard, Yor ability to rreach the reader's heart is impressive. Ordinary life themes are what the Romantic poets write about and I ;love that era's poems as I love this. And guess what 55 ain't so bad either, I got 15 years on ya! ginga

    Poetry is not the expression of personality but an escape from personality.

    T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
