61 Years Around the Sun!

 

Aging by Rupi Kaur


I often daydream about the woman I'll be

when I leave the rush of 

my insecure twenties

and pick up self-assurance on the way

I can't wait to make

my eighteen-year-old self jealous

of the hell I raise

roaring into my thirties and forties

my soul becoming

more potent with age

at fifty I'll sit with

my wrinkles and silver hair

laughing about the adventures

we've had together

talking about the countless more

in the decades ahead

what a privilege it is

to grow into the 

finest version of myself.

 


Making my years count instead of counting the years,

Happy 61st Birthday to Me! 


All the best,

GMarie
