I Aged Today - Birthday Poem

I Aged Today



I aged today,

The earth completely orbited the sun,

I feel no different,

I am half way through, but far from done.



I aged today,

A predetermined number of days are now in the past,

I yet hold no significant claim,

Little time I have, for the sands of time fall fast.



I aged today,

Does not seem so different from the day before,

A chance to shine is getting dull,

I will thrive to live a life that is so much more.



My life is not yet over,

From my destined path I will not stray,

Wisdom finds its way to me, because once again,

I aged today.
