Twenty Years! I brace myself for the rest of my days I’ll spend in this life.

                                      know for sure when the time beckons to celebrate twenty one.

                                        Another year to go and years to come. What am I scared of?

                                           I’m scared to die. Not because I’m scared of death, but

                                             I haven’t done anything useful in Life. I have to love.

                                                 I have to Give. I have to Share. I have to Heal.

                                                      I have to Mend the Broken Hearts. I have

                                                         to Treat My parents with Love. I have

                                                              to Catch up with My Children I’ll

                                                               have, my nephews and nieces,

                                                                   God Daughters and Sons.

                                                                      I want to Forgive and

                                                                       Beg for Forgiveness.

                                                                          I want to Write,

                                                                            to Celebrate,

                                                                               to Sing.

                                                                                   I

                                                                              want to

                                                                           Travel, Dive

                                                                     and Find thrill in every

                                                                  second my life can give. I

                                                               want to Find Intellectual Bliss.

                                                         Peace of Mind, Void of Sin. So When I

                                            reach twenty I want to find a life. Accomplished, with

                                      missions and so much of worldly-wise. So I turn back the hour

                              glass, start the life anew and watch the time flit away with new goals

                          to go through. And when a day comes, a birthday I shall reach. I’ll say then

                    to you, “Come find me Death. Please. I’m not scared to die, I’m not scared of death.”

             For I have accomplished my Goals.   My Aims. Today I turn a twenty year old girl. Leaving

    the Teens and entering the Youth. I find a new phase, fresh and anew. I turn the hourglass will watch

time flow. Easy it will glide, Easy it will flow. My life with a Goal. Hopes and Dreams. I leave my teens behind.
