last day of a decade

This last day of a decade
presents with more importance than yesterday
even though that day too
was the end of a decade.
As is every day.

Tomorrow I will leave a decade behind
and enter a new one.
While society tells me how momentous this is,
I see it as another day,
another day gifted to me to be alive, here,
on this Earth as I am,
like today.
That, alone, is more than enough for me.
