"Well today’s my b-day And I’m thirty-nine
That’s my story and
I’m sticking with it."
My mom was always
Thirty-nine every b-day
Which was funny
When I was a teenager
I really don’t want to be
Thirty nine again unless
I knew what I know now
Looking back and
Wondering what could
Have been-if only,
Regrets go no where
So I’ll look at growth
That came instead
Divorcing at thirty-five,Now a single parent
Raising three young sons
Became a new teacher
Of elementary students
Remarriage-begin over
Another son to nurture
Four sons-my life's work
Five grandchildren now
A marvelous blessing
With promises of more
Posterity to come
A full life with lots
Of challenges to
Overcome and
Lessons to learn
From as I progress
In my daily journey
PS My son Daniel above on the left is now 39! Baby Jeff is now 25.
