There were no fireworks, no comets blazing, no special
lanterns lighting the sky!
The day dawned just like any other and I did the things I normally
do!
Nothing out of the ordinary.
Yes, I did receive the most amazing bunch of roses!
Commemorating every spin around the sun!
And a yummy little cake from my kids!
I did not suddenly start to fly!
I did not travel far, far away as I hoped I would.
But yet....
Am smiling, am happy.
So why is 40 being talked and touted about so much?
Maybe I should wait for 50 to hear the trumpets and the
sirens and see the star ships landing?
I fear that by then.. I may not even be able to hear!
Sitting here, measuring time by the length of the songs and
wondering where the years flew by!
