Thirty four today
And
I’m beginning to understand
How
life creeps up on you
How,
before you know it
Looking from the outside
You
are no longer a child
Yet,
knowing on the inside
You
have barely been born
Thirty four today
And
I’m beginning to understand
How
life happens to you
How,
in every moment
Gathered around the fireside
You
are telling your story
Yet,
even as the narrator
You
don’t know the next word
Thirty four today
And
I’m beginning to understand
How
life is full of surprises
How,
when you least expect it
In
the blink of an eye
You
find the scenery changed
Yet,
beneath the surface
You
draw from a constant stream
Thirty four today
And
I’m beginning to understand
How
life can hurt sometimes
How,
despite the armour
When
the arrows pierce
You
bleed like everyone else
Yet,
one breath at a time
You
have the strength to carry on
Thirty four today
And
I’m beginning to understand
How
life is art made real
How,
even as an amateur
Splashing light and colour
You
can create a masterpiece
Yet,
when you look up
You
see that beauty is reflected
Thirty four today
And
I’m beginning to understand
How
life is only the stage
How,
no matter what the props
In
the unfolding drama
You
are there to learn loving
Yet,
when the curtain falls
You
find love outlasts all encores
Thirty four today
And
I’m beginning to understand
How
life is a fragile thing
How,
like a child on the beach
When
the tide changes
You
must let the castles wash away
Yet,
if you crafted with care
You
dwell forever in the heart of life
