A Morning After Forty

Glowingly


New year
it is

December 31,
just a single day stacked up
and changed the unit we call a year

Though my time
nothing can be done about,

may my morning
not be a time that has grown old

May it be one that can greet a morning
that somehow hints that something good might happen, 
like a grown-up

A new year,
and so I contain
the morning of forty
