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 |
