It is only a number,
There are so many of them.
Some are frightening,
But in the scheme of things
The one that you have reached
Is just a little one.
It may seem large to you
But many others have passed it,
They live their full lives
With humour and love
At many great ages.
Be sure that you will live your life,
Live it to the best of your ability.
This time in your life is just the beginning,
The beginning of the wonderful journey,
The wonderful journey into your future.

- Comment from author about the poem: A friend of ours has just reached a birthday with a zero on the end of it, She was a little concerned so I wrote this for her. She and her husband went to New Orleans to celebrate it.

A simple message simply put with honesty - i do hope she embraces all that you say - super write Andy.
Thank you Michael, I am sure she will, she is a good friend to us both, as is her husband.
A good write Gold. Ahh, you mean 20, I suspect - that's got a zero on the end of it. And you and I have been 21 for centuries!
She was (21 x 3) - (21 / 3) - (21 / 7 x 2). Simples.
Ahh I see. Looks like you're playing Bingo! Are we 21 x about 5 million?! You done too much thinking, working out that sum? Should we think so much? All these questions.....
Finch I don't know how in the world you did that math so quickly but I had to put it into the calculator. Good with literature, horrible with mathematics.
I (of course?!) worked it out using me brain-box. Gave me a headache though!
Many great things to come if only we can allow ourselves to see the opportunity. A wonderful little piece here Finch. It holds much truth and it's a heartwarming venture. Two thumbs up.
Thank you Nicholas, the opportunities are out there and we must grab them with both hands.
Did you think much to work out that sum? And if so, was it dangerous (to think, I mean)?!
Yes a wonderful journey is this mystery we call life on earth - - an so grateful to be here reading this. Best wishes to that friend.
Thank you Fay, life is so wonderful.
Yes i remember my tenth birthday.
I like the encouragement in your words, positive as ever. Welcoming into the next phase of life.
Thank you d a the next phase of life is always exciting and wonderful.
