I turned TWENTY, what a day,
A milestone graced in every way.
The years FLEW by like fleeting streams,
Yet each one shines with cherished dreams.
.
To God, I’m grateful, deeply true,
For blessings vast, for LIFE anew.
A miracle, they said, I’d not survive—
Yet here I stand, ALIVE, ALIVE...
.
Doctors spoke of TIME so brief,
An hour more could bring only grief.
A body drained, yet I held TIGHT,
And somehow fought to see the light.
.
If not for mercy, love DIVINE,
This life could never have been mine.
But here I stand, a TALE to share,
Of hope that lingers in the air.
.
I feel the ache of fleeting years,
But joy dissolves my hidden TEARS.
Among kind souls, I’ve found my place,
Wrapped in LOVE’s eternal embrace.
.
So here’s to TWENTY, life’s sweet store,
And dreams that stretch to 120 more.
For I’m a MIRACLE, bathed in light,
A testament to God’s great might.
Happy twenty, full of cheer,
May this be my finest year!

Public Announcement Challenge Winners
For the Public Announcement Challenge, writers were asked to work inside voices built for control. These were notices, warnings, and updates meant to inform rather than confess. The strongest entries committed to that form and didn't break from it. Corporate memos, formal government alerts, and internal policy language were held consistently, allowing emotion, fear, grief, or humor to surface indirectly through pressure rather than declaration. The following poems recognize the voice of authority, and let human feeling slip through despite all its rules and restraint.

Happy belated, hope all was as you wished. Be blessed.
