Looking back

Three decades ago, on this day,
I saw the first glimpse of light....
Three decades younger, today,
I pray for a life filled with light...

Three decades taught me three lessons...

Life is not about me..
Only a life lived for others is a life worth living...

True love is in giving yourself,
expecting nothing back
and in expecting nothing,
that I cannot give...

The third lesson is the realization
that it is very hard to follow the first two...
