The Day Of My Birth

There comes a time, in everyone’s life, when you have to look at your life realistically. You have to accept the mistakes you have made,
Take into consideration the poor judgment calls that you may make in the future,
And the situations that have arisen and will continue to arise that are totally out of your control.
At that moment, is the time when you have to allow your life to become a mirror in which you stand before and take self-evaluation.
Where do you want to go? What do you want to do? Whom do you want to be with?
How much more time is available? Why does everything seem so tedious?
All of these are questions that I ponder in my mind as I approach my birthday.
The half-mile point… The crossroads…The fork in the road…
I embark on this endeavor with one first and foremost thought in my mind,
I travel this road to see what the end will bring,
I accept my maturity with thankfulness and gratefulness,
As I quietly and calmly state to myself…
NO TURNING BACK, NO LOOKING BACK,
JUST FOCUSED ON THE FUTURE!!!
