Celebrate

I celebrate today.
Another year of experiences.

The life I've lived.
The love I've known.
The smiles I've shared.
The accomplishments I've earned.
The late night dances I enjoyed.
The people who've I've met.
The happiest moments gifted to me.

I celebrate today.

The tears I've cried.
The love I've lost.
The sorrows I've felt.
The fails I've suffered through.
The people I've lost.
The torturous moments that brought me to my knees

Yes I celebrate the good and bad in my life.
For if I don't acknowledge all I've lived then I'd have nothing to celebrate

[John the Baptist]

This offering describes a full life, containing both the positive and the difficult. That makes it stand out on this site, where so many focus on their regrets and anger. The speaker celebrates today, which is good, because nothing else is really real, only a series of memories and anticipations. The impression is the good memories have been cherished and the bad ones seen as lessons. Would that all would do similarly.

Thank you for understanding my point in this piece. Life is to be celebrated with it's good and it's bad moments. Isn't that the true reason for living a full filling life? Thank you John!!
