Wonderful Chel Cheli poem

As a fellow Chel Cheli, I really enjoyed your poem.

May you live many happy Chehels after this one.

I think it is the first 40 which is difficult, after that point there is a melonchalic phase, a surrender followed by a "don't care, let's enjoy this ambigouis thing called life" phase!

Mard-e Chehel Saalleh :(

You are right
When I was a kid
And bumped into someone
Whom I knew he was forty
I would be shaken to the very core by
His age discrapancy
Knowing for sure
I am near a very strong and mature man
Towering over my head like a giant
And snap in anger in any second without notice
To smash me under his heavy iron long feet

I am now age 56
And still frightened by
The greatness & horror and vastness of forty something

ای چهل و چند

ای چهل و چند ساله‌ی خوب، لذت بردم! ولی تو چهل و چند ساله نیستی. تو مثل خودم چهارده ساله‌ای
!

Marvelous

Really really good. Made me think. Thank you!
