Poet's note: I wrote this poem the very moment I reached my forty years. I am now a fortyish lady who loves her strength after thirty nine long years of tears and laughters. With my three children in my life, I simply feel blessed to have been able to make it until 40. I dedicate this poem to Anes, Marame and Rofaida, my three angels
