​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
