30 - it can't be...
just yesterday I was 21
with my life stretched
out before me
like an undiscovered
treasure map
with wonderful things
to do and see
Now It seems I've
lost half my life...
There are so many
things I wanted to achieve
before reaching
this "milestone"
that's still so
hard to believe
Driving a car...
becoming a mother
doing things that
make a difference
and touching the
life of another
Surely at this stage
of my life
I should feel fullfilled
being happily married
and living secure
in my world
