I look back at twenty five,
remembering the start of life,
my newborn son in my hand...
cherishing love oh so grand.
Now, as I turn fifty four,
I open up the next door,
holding his daughter close to me,
a grandma is what I be.
Embrace each stage of your life,
indulge in being mother and wife,
look forward to each passing day...
time just seems to slip away...
Author notes
I still FEEL twenty five...
