Eighteen--thought she knew everything; hers was the only point of view
That little girl in her cap, gown and spiral curls, she didn't have a clue
Thirty seemed a million miles from her dreams, lookin' back on it now
As she makes a wish and blows those candles out, she sees…
X's and O's on a crayon colored card,
Two little angels playin' out in the backyard
A picture of her with her high school sweetheart…still in love
She's discovered life and it's so beautiful,
She' findin' ….31derful
“You'll blink an eye, you'll be 55,” her mama said with a wink
“Menopause, grandkids and catalogs… from AARP”
She feels a tug from her freckled face ladybug, sayin', “Hey mama what'd you wish?”
She wipes away a tear from her eye and says, “This!”
X's and O's on a crayon colored card,
Two little angels playin out in the backyard
A picture of her with her high school sweetheart…still in love
She's discovered life and it's so beautiful,
She' findin' ….31derful
She ain't gonna worry about the future,
She's gonna live for the here and now…
