Adieu 42!

One more day of forty-two,
Still so much left to do!
Time flies by it is so true,
Oh too soon, Forty-three debut!

Looking back now I see,
A year of learning of who to be,
Confused and alone, lost in me,
Vast a world, I began to see.

A year of tears and pain,
Saw myself oh so vain,
Joy so bright not of this plane,
One with all, I pray to attain.

The year began with tears that flowed,
Life’s lessons my private road,
Forward I went an ecclesiastical mode,
Release from past I was bestowed.

Now I have one day to go,
New hopes and dreams still to grow,
Forty two it did so show,
Just so little I really know.

Awake I am , life so grand,
One with God is the plan.
No more I cry, now I say,
Forty three, my ascension day!
