Here Is To My Roaring 20s

 Here is to my roaring 20s,

to the mistakes that I will make,

to the lessons that I will learn,

to the people I will love,

to the sunsets I will watch,

to the life that I will live,

and to the life that I will build.

Here is to my roaring 20s,

to the years that will fall in this decade,

to the months that will be spent with love,

to the days that will be filled with joy,

to the hours that I will pass,

to the minutes that I will wish to last forever,

to the seconds that I will soak into memory.

Here is to my roaring 20s,

to the years that will change my life,

to the decade that was my childhood dream,

to the present moment on the brink of something wonderful.

Today, I am 20.

What a fantastic thing to be.
