AT MY AGE; A TOAST!

"At my age i have seen it all, heard it all, i just cant remember it all". Growing up my mum's favorite tea mug had this write up on it.
 
I always wondered what it meant till i sat through this first hour on my date of birth and found me say the best part of it. So i here i go,



At my age, i am where i am not supposed to be, it should have been lower or higher.
At my age i have the best people in the world around me, they are the good the bad and ugly
At my age, i have seen somethings that have changed the course of my life, positively and negatively
At my age, i have said things that have broken and made relationships
At my age, i have with my words, given life as well as death to people and situations
At my age i found out that reality is always different from the ideal, take it or leave it
At my age i realized, in the not too distant past that there is always more to what the eyes see
At my age, i have been blessed and cursed, and i see the overflow of blessings
At my age i have met people that have left me in better and worst conditions
At my age i grew up to know that i was solely responsible for what i will become
At my age, i have done things i cannot tell you about, good and bad, and yes, some ugly
At my age, i realize a little selfishness doeth good to the soul
At my age, i have said a lot of prayers, not all goodly i must confess
At my age, i pray that my children will know a better Nigeria when i have grown old and grey
At my age, i pray that Nigeria will speak loud and clear against corruption and insurgency
At my age, i have pronounced death to situations, i have seen unanswered prayers in my favor
At my age, have prayed the prayer of Jabez, Solomon, David, Ruth, Esther, Mary and Pontius Pilate
At my age, i still have prayers to make that i cant find the words,
At my age, life has dealt me a blow, one so many i now have me a game plan


At my age i know good and evil and if i choose not to remember it all, i am on my own.
So? At my age i have choosen to be happy, in the midst of turmoil.
At my age i have chosen to give me a toast, alongside my birthday mates,
Kwaghdoo Aoodoakaa-Enyi, Bridget Doosuur Kurugh,  Doyin  Balogun, Valentine Chahul, Pamela Sombo, Grace Mercedes and many more special people born on this day. Cheers!

A boundless toast to us all for good health, peace, joy, love, growth, development, excellence and above all divine and a goodly heritage.

One love people!
