Dirty Thirty

Dirty Thirty
-an original poem, by ME!


I guess I am turning the big THIRTY!
Is it weird that I feel a little more flirty?

I don’t wanna recapture that youth I hated.
All while pretending my happiness is fated.

I have the BEST husband, and the most PERFECT girls.
My life is full of joy, barf, kisses, laundry, and curls.

As I sit back and take a view of my life,
I am most grateful to be a mother and wife.

Not to say I am not a feminist!
I could be the President or maybe a Dentist.

That is what I will tell my girls--you can be whatever you dream!
All while hoping they get the chance to be part of a family team.

The truth is, the wrinkles are small, and life is good.
And my metabolism isn't dead, so I can still eat food.

But really, I am just happy to be turning dirty thirty,
Mostly 'cause there’s still 10 more years to "lordy, I'm forty!"
