Poem
As I celebrate my 52nd birthday in 2026, I am reminded that life is not measured by years alone but by how we spend each fleeting second. This original English poem, crafted in quatrain format with precisely 52 lines—one for each year—explores the profound truth that every moment counts. It encourages us not to waste our waking hours but to fill them with kindness toward humans, animals, and nature. It urges meditation on God's scriptures to cultivate love over hate, as Jesus taught, and emphasizes the importance of deep, restorative sleep to recharge our bodies, brains, and organs. May this birthday reflection inspire you to live more intentionally, with love and purpose in every breath you take.
