The Big 4 0

They say it's just a number,
with that I can't disagree!
Hard though, don't you think
when in my head I'm still 23?

It's just it ends in zero
and takes me up another step.
It's like waiting for your hero -
I didn't think it would arrive just yet!

So, I'll find a few more hairs of grey
and all my bits will start to droop.
But I live my life without regret -
and have new dreams for which to shoot.

And, here it is - the happy day!
Thankfully arrived with little pain.
Though (I must confess) and say -
that could simply be due to champagne!!

Cheers
