Today I turn the age of thirty-five
Never in my life have I felt more urgency to live my life
I know that at sixty, this year won’t sound so old,
But today, in this moment, it feels quite bold.
35 is a prime number,
Wait, no it isn’t!
It’s definitely odd
A year I have rendered
I wonder what little Holly
Would think of 35?
I am married with kids
And met my forever man
I love our home
That was always the plan
My career is taking off
I’m even publishing a book
My Little Holly would be totally shook
To know that she’d grow to be an author someday
Change people’s lives, and still time to play.
Sweet, little Holly, there were many mishaps along the way
Some of them scary, but needless to say
We made it here, darling
The sky is the limit
My sweet little Holly
We finally did it!
Now enjoy this day
And make several wishes
Today is your day
Ignore any bitches
I guess we are talking to teenage Holly now
She’s proud of you, for sure
But she has a raised brow
Why does life have to have such big bumps?
How will I get through it?
I’m scared of the humps.
Your life will turn and twist,
But it straightens back out.
Just hold on tight
Don’t lose sight of your self
You’ll learn a whole lot, and sometimes it will hurt
You’ll even live briefly in a small, little yurt.
But do not be scared, young Holly, my dear
Your life becomes amazing
You’ll meet the man of your dreams in your thirty third year.
And that man will show you the love you’ve been waiting for
Even better, he will introduce you to The Lord.
I know you may think it is unthinkable
But you will find Jesus and your life becomes unsinkable.
You’ll cling close to God and your forever man
And then your life
Will become marvelously grand.
All those mishaps and screw ups
Won’t seem to matter
You’ll start every day
With a lovestruck pitter patter
Being in love is your favorite,
Your heart singing songs
Enjoy every second
It’s where you belong.
That closes my trip
Down memory lane
Today is quite beautiful
In every single way.
