This is me in ‘59,

part skeptical,
part wise,
part shy,

unsure of my place,
or what I will face
In years to come,

Yet, I’m still here,

more wise than shy,
more trusting than not,
more hopeful than not,

more sure of my place,
and ready to face
the years ahead,

thankful for family and friends
who make my world whole,
and wholly worthwhile,

Peace and love to each of you.
