Twenty-Five

Today, I’m hitting twenty-five,

A simple age, feeling alive.

Not old, not young, just right in between,

Learning what life and love really mean.

I’ve laughed and cried, seen days and nights,

Chased after wrongs, and fought for rights.

With friends and memories by my side,

This journey’s been one wild ride.

Twenty-five candles, bright and clear,

Marking the moment, my new year.

Not just a number, but a sign,

To live, to love, to make each moment mine.

So here’s to the days that have made me strong,

To the moments where I’ve found where I belong.

I step forward, my heart filled with song,

Ready for whatever comes along.

To twenty-five, a simple cheer,

For every hope and every fear.

With dreams in my pocket, and courage near,

I welcome this year, with joy, not fear.

Here’s to the future, wide and vast,

To making more memories, making them last.

In this life, where moments fly so fast,

I’ll savor each one, till the very last.
