First tooth, first word, first step,
Developmental milestones
Awards for graduation
Preschool to elementary
Ticking boxes, kicking goals,
A university degree
Hey, I made it!
Did it!
Won it!
My Personal Best, a PB!

First kiss, first date, first time 😉
Personal aspirations
First car, first job, first home,
Proud as proud can be
Mastery, accomplishment
I’ve sweated night and day
Earned myself a rightful place
My name up there in lights
A trophy for the record
A medal on my chest

I’ve been around the world
I’ve started something new
I’m in the clear
Yay, I’ll live
to see another year
I’ve lost a few
I’ve gained some more
I’m never giving up
Those milestones are mine,
and mine alone,
to line up on the shelf
