Life in Transit

    Forty-one

    2011

    Another bumpy trip around the chunky sun
    With far less battles lost than new victories won
    I’m far from my old age and yet no longer young
    I’ve only just got started – I’m firing forty-one

    Another funky flip inside my clunky head
    With fewer fears to face, yet ever skins to shed
    I’m eager to find out what paths still lay ahead
    I’m keeping my feet light wherever I may tread

    Another chunky chip in my life’s hunky dough
    With far less cause to shrink and much more chance to grow
    I’m ready to become the star of my own show
    I’m sailing on the wind and surfing in the flow

    Another monkey trick of clockwork flunky fun
    With no less time to waste and such great love to come
    I’m gazing at the stars with dreams still left to run
    I’ve only just got started – I’m firing forty-one
