This poem is about my partner turning 40. He is dreading it but I wrote this poem to tell him not to.

My Love

Well you turned 40

The big “FOUR O”

The day has come

Let me ask you;

Do you feel different?

Do you feel old?

Do you feel time has gone too quick?

Nothing to worry about

They say life really starts at 40

Let me ask you;

Do you think you desire less?

Do you think you will love less?

Do you think you will be loved less?

It is all up to you

What value you place to this age

Let me ask you;

Do you know I am still here?

Do you know I still care?

Do you know I still love you very much?

Regardless of what you may feel

Or what some people may say

I am here to stay

Let me tell you;

I will not go away

I will hold you even longer

I will love you even more

Let me tell you;

I will show you there is nothing to be afraid of

I will show you the true meaning of love

I will hold your hand

Do not let it rule your head

It is what you make of it instead

40 is only a number

Nothing more, nothing less

Just a birthday to celebrate you

Your family, your friends and me; your love

I am here forever

I care for you forever

I desire you forever

I long for you forever

I want you forever

Forever is timeless

Forever is endless

Forever is everlasting

Forever is always

My love for you is forever

    Turning 40 isnt the of your life but rather the beginning.A new phase in life and in a way,,,a new way to think about things.
    Now you can use what you learned the first 39 years of your life!

    It could be worse, he could be turning fifty….haha I agree with what you said in your poem that forty was just a number, and it’s how you feel that counts. Very good.
