45 and Alive Poem by Andy Derryberry

45 and alive
45 and alive
too young to stop
too old to worry

45 and alive
can still be angry
just not all the time

45 and alive
got places to go
know where I”ve been

45 and alive
still finding who I am
know a lot about me

45 and alive
can do a lot
have done a lot

45 and alive
know happy and sad
had plenty of both

45 and alive
like to compete
in competition with none

45 and alive
miss the yesterdays
can”t wait for tomorrows
***
