It Is My Turn

It is my turn, to become old
It is my turn, to find joy
It is my turn, to love and lift
It is my turn, to find peace in conflict
It is my turn, to comfort others in sorrow
It is my turn, to slow down and watch a day change from light to night
It is my turn, to rest well at night
It is my turn, to notice new wrinkles in my face, and be delighted with them
It is my turn, to see my Grandma's and Parent's in the way my face looks now
It is my turn, to listen to music
It is my turn, to sing with joy and with sorrow
It is my turn, to heal old wounds
It is my turn, to solve disagreements with others
It is my turn, to feel the warm breeze in my face
It is my turn, to love my children, love my children, love my children
It is my turn, to help small children slow down, and disconnect from technology
It is my turn, to use technology to improve my life, but keep a balance
It is my turn, to care for my health, but not make it my only priority
It is my turn, to remember the wonderful quote that "a person wrapped up only in himself makes a very   small package"
It is my turn, to notice the brilliant green of spring welcomed leaves
It is my turn, to notice the glory of autumn painted leaves
It is my turn, to be patient in affliction
It is my turn, to read poetry
It is my turn, to sing songs, my own, and others
It is my turn, to coax music from an antique piano
It is my turn, to make new friends
It is my turn, to love those older than I am, to learn from them
It is my turn, to be grateful, to count my blessings more than my struggles
It is my turn, my turn, my turn
