​Getting Older By Choice, a Poem

The year that went by
I grew almost a decade older.
I saw time slip by
It seemed to get bolder.”I’ve been here, watching you.
I’ll be here, watching you.
I don’t measure you, just exist.
You can choose to make this count
Or count me for the sake of it”

Why a decade in a year?
Isn’t that too hard to bear?
Well, let me tell you a story
About a game that’s fair
“Those who learn, grow
Those who share, grow
Those who dare, grow
Those who stand still
Reset or relearn to grow”

How can I make it count?
How can I make it matter?
It seemed like a puzzle until
I calmly heard a murmur
“Find your purpose
Find your tribe
Find a sense of humour
And, let their hues
Create your vibe!”

A poem by Sreeja Iyer, CEO & Founder of Sparkling Mindz Global School, Preschool, & Afterschool
