At forty, the dawn of wisdom softly breaks,
A gentle light upon the path we take.
The echoes of youth still whisper in the air,
As we stand grounded, with less to fear.

Seasons of laughter and tears intertwined,
Each moment a chapter, uniquely designed.
The mirror reflects lines of stories untold,
A tapestry of life, both vibrant and bold.

In the quiet moments of reflection found,
We gather the courage to dream unbound.
The heart beats steady, in rhythm with time,
As we embrace the future, our spirits climb.

With gratitude for the lessons learned,
And a newfound strength, deep within burned.
The journey unfolds with grace and might,
As we turn forty, embracing the light.
