I'M IN MY 40'S

I'm In My 40's

life's meant to start at fourth's I think,
It had taken me to long to get hear ,
But now that I am hear what do
I do next when 50's come my way?
So I look and think to my self wow
My 30's past me by so fast I thought
I was still in my 20's
Forty's just one day away of a love
Of Jehovah he gave me ,
One more day to give my love to
All my kid's and grand kids,
Boy I still have a lot of work to do ,
Wrinkles all around my eye's
hair graying, recently dyed,
brought up in the swinging 60's
the truth may be denied.
But my life was another page for
Another to take hold and make
Better day's for another page in
Their eye's ,
Why does forty sound so old ?
Why does everyone pretend
that they are only twenty .
Get up and have some fun your
Still Young .

To all my readers you may see that their are grammar errors in my old writings, but these writing are from the 90's ,2000's. I truly didn't think anyone was readying my work . so I just started writing out what I felt and made my pains a story and poems . I had re post these poems and stories all over the internet and I keep them also in file so no one can ever say my work is theirs . I have kept my work as they are just for others to see where it was I started my writing at . The pains are so real not even a game ,The life I had lived I would never wish upon no one . I like to say to all who are taking the steps for change in their life congratulations to the new open doors God bless you . You may have seen my photos on the internet and my writings on Poetry.com and poem hunter etc. you may have seen the hate that others have given to me about my work and my beauty of who I am . But as you can see I will never let the haters Stop me from doing what I love . So I say the same to all of you write your own words and let your heart speak to all your readers . I hope you can understand why I haven't made changes in my work at less not the old ones . My old work are left as they are for me to always remember where it all came from . God bless to all who reads . Lilly Emery /Judy Emery
