Marking this day! ❤️

02 January 2019

I was born today
Many years ago, they say!

Repeated year after year
Changes, bright and clear!

Onwards, without any fear
Some normal, others extraordinary
2018 was my sanctuary!

I grew, I understood,
Realising many of life’s lessons
A culmination of past errors and misfortune
Rounded now my itinerary!

But even better still, it is today
2019, will be my year of breakthrough
Fearlessly leading, guiding, ready to adapt, stay and sway!

Free of the shackles placed on me, now in the past
Free at last, watch me fly, into this world so beautifully vast!

Gratitude to my friends, even my foes
For you have always kept me on my toes!
