Reborn @ 40

Fortieth year...
How did I fare?
Midlife I crossed,
How do I look?

At 20, got a degree;
At 25, built a decent home for mammy and pappy;
At 30, been to countries other than Phi;
At 35, bought an SUV;
At 40, am a retiree.

Crisanto, my registered name;
At home, Loloy or Junjun is my nickname;
Sant in HS, Cris in College, were my cognomen;
At work, Crissy or Cring-cring rings supreme;
Nazareno is my sacred name.

Thank you, Lord!
40 years, a grace beyond good!
Everything went dandy,
And it kept dreamy.

Thank you, God!
40 years more would be astounding,
Pray, I would live it as you willed, in your love,
And keep me counting your blessing.
