Upon my fifty-fourth embrace, With lines of time upon my face, I pen a verse for future's sake, A spark of hope I aim to wake. Midway through this life's great arc, Still burning bright, a steady spark, The dreams I chase, not aging's toll, With heart aglow and thriving soul. In whispered winds, my thoughts take flight, To lands where dawn breaks crystal bright, Each sunrise births a bloom anew, A palette vast of vibrant hue. As years unfold, and trail behind, A sense of purpose stays aligned, With faith as guide and courage strong, I march ahead—where I belong. Fifty-four and onward soar, A world to love, and still explore, In every day, a chance to see, The boundless light inside of me.
