Somewhere so long ago,
  they held hands.

From there it started,
   end ended where I stand here now.

Twenty One years living,
in a chaos of times.

Sometimes lost,
others found.

Here I stand with twenty one down...
God only knows how many left to go.

At one I was attacked by bees an almost died.
At two I was running around crazily, smacked down on the bunkbeds, broke my nose.
At Three I was running around outside, got hit in jaw with a baseball bat..
At four I was jumpin around on big blue mats, at gymnastics every night.
At five I was jugglin in the kindergarten play.
At Six I lost my first tooth.
At Seven I was reading my first chapter book all by myself.
At eight I was wakin up late.
At nine I was enjoying the times.
At ten I was crazy in love with horses.
At eleven I moved and changed schools.
At twelve I was growin up so fast.
At thirteen I was a lil bit shy.
At fourteen I was just one of the guys.
At fifteen I was learnin to drive.
At sixteen I was coping with divorce.
At seventeen I was falling in love.
At eighteen I was graduating from High school.
At nineteen I was moving out on my own.
At twenty I was thinking I knew it all.

I've been through a lot, its only be a couple years.

So many things left to do and left unsaid.

I wonder about twenty five, and thirty... but that is yet to  come...
thinking is crazy, thinking isn't wrong.
But yesterday, feels like a year away.

One third to 63, and I thought Larry was givin' me a hard time. Geez... Thanks. I feel old now. Good thing there are 365 days in a year... So I have 15,330 days to grow up before I am "REALLY REALLY REALLY" old. or 63
