(Unknown) A Living Success Welcome to the beginning, of youth of old age. Wrinkles and hair loss, have escaped from their cage. To look back at the past, there’s no rational aim. Gravity is winning, the fight with your frame. This 50th celebration, was not a request. For family and friends, It’s simply a test. All of your moves, They’ll examine precisely, and measure your waistline, not very nicely. From this day forward, if you showcase ambition. You’ll certainly require the doctor’s permission. Just take it easy; there’s no need to stress. In the 17th century, you’d be a living success. (Unknown) At 50 Empathy, the greatest virtue of all, Memorable situations to recall. Have no shame; if you don’t know, With humble honesty, you will glow. Odds of keeping an open mind, Same as the waistline, that is kind. Actions stronger than words, Don’t need to follow the herds. Never gave up on your kids, Learned to pick, the right forbids. Finally, the puzzle came together, You survived intensive weather. (Unknown) The Big “Five-O” You have made it to the big “Five-O,” Born and raised many ages ago. Tried to influence at least a million, Mirror succeeded, only one civilian. Now at fifty, you might need a cane, Trade it for your aging brain. Cannot decipher, without reading glasses, All those discounted subways passes. Adult diapers, you must invest, Extra layers we suggest. So many candles on that cake, If you count, I won’t stay awake. Don’t worry; you’re not losing your mind, If you forget, I’ll try to remind. After fifty years; still immature, Unfortunately, they don’t have a cure. (Martin Dejnicki) A Delightful Age I look at my hands; liver-spotted, blue-veined and muse on the taste of the cheese by that name. I ponder and think of one thing and another and the face in the mirror that looks like my mother. I go to Tai Chi for balance and hope I don’t get Alzheimer’s and try to elope with the neighbor’s hubby who tidies my garden, (he says it will help stop his arteries harden) I don’t need home help; I can still climb a ladder the heart’s a bit “dickey,” and so is the bladder. If this is old age, then it’s pretty good value, so pour me a wine and pass the Sudoku. (Deryn Pittar) The Gifts You Have Given Us Turning 50 is quite an occasion So we really want to say, How we truly feel about you On this very special day. Thank you for the wisdom That you shared all through the years. Thanks for all the times that you Talked away our fears. Thanks for being there for us To console us through our tears, And share the many happy times That we've enjoyed over the years. We have some gifts to give you, But they never can compare, To the gifts that you have given us, Just letting us know you, and the love you share. (Unknown) Not Quite Over The Hill Over the hill is what they used to say, To anyone celebrating a 50th birthday. Don't listen to anything that you're told, Being 50 is great, you're not really so old. Just 'cause your knees are weak doesn't mean you're getting old, And if your hand's a little shaky, it's still nice enough to hold. So your hair's a little thinner, don't waste time worrying about that. So your waist is a bit thicker, you're just more cuddly with a little fat. And even if your gums are starting to recede, You can always buy more teeth if you really feel the need. So don't fret about turning 50, don't face the day with dread, 'Cause age is just a number, and it's all inside your head. You're really still as young as you believe yourself to be, So embrace the fact you're 50 and celebrate with glee. (Unknown)
