Today is the day we sing Happy Birthday,
As today thirty years ago you were born.
Hard to believe you're now thirty,
Your youth is now gone, you should mourn.
We all knew you were getting older,
Just didn't realize how old you’ve become.
We will try not to mock or tease you,
As we will always think great of our chum.
Thirty is just another number,
Although it's the first step, to middle age.
Now comes wrinkles, grey hair, baldness,
You really should be hiding backstage.
Okay, we've been kind of unhelpful,
In making this birthday much fun.
We'll roll out the carpet to introduce you,
As on your birthday, you are truly number one.
You may also want to share one of our funny 30th birthday poems to bring a smile to the birthday persons face!
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Your twenties are behind you,
The clock is ticking fast.
Can't believe you're thirty,
That went by so quick, the past!
You may feel the same inside -
But with few new wrinkles on your face.
No need to grab the tissues -
As for sure age has its place!
But life still holds so many surprises,
And years of joy to come.
So embrace this milestone
And make thirty a lot of fun!
Entering your thirties is a swift transition from the twenties, marked by the ticking clock and a sense of time flying. Though you may feel unchanged inside, a few wrinkles may hint at the passage of time. Rather than dwelling on this, embrace the new decade, recognizing that age has its own significance. Approach this milestone with enthusiasm and make your thirties a time of fun and discovery.
Poet: Edward Tuck
Age is a quality of mind:
If your dreams you've left behind,
If hope is cold,
If you no longer look ahead,
If your ambition's fires are dead
Then you are old.
But if from life you take the best,
And if in life you keep the zest,
If love you hold,
No matter how the years go by,
No matter how the birthdays fly,
You are not old.

You may feel you're getting old
But let the truth be told
Turning 30 you are at your prime
Enjoy the day and take your time
Savor the moment don't look back
Set your goals and stay on track.
Turning 30 is a milestone
You decide you set the tone
Where you want your life to go
Up or down, or, fast or slow
It is all up to you
And what you do.
Happy thirtieth we wish for you
Remember that age is not the issue
It is just a number that shows the years
It is a time to put away your fears
The next 30 years will go so fast
Enjoy this time to the fullest, make it last.
Approaching 30 is not a sign of aging but a prime time in life. This poem, Getting Old, reminds us to take this moment to enjoy and set your own pace, focusing on the present without dwelling on the past and look to the future with enthusiasm. The wish is for a happy thirtieth, recognizing that the next 30 years will pass quickly, encouraging you to make the most of this time.

It seems like yesterday when
The age you were at was only ten.
Then before we could turn around
The age of twenty was then found.
Now here today, we can't believe
Thirty years you have achieved.
Enjoy these years as we can tell you for sure
The next thirty will fly by faster than before.
Birthday Poems
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Thirty is not a ripe old age
Life just begins at this stage!
Thirty is the prime of life, you see
And, at times, life can be crazy.
But, look at life with a positive attitude
You can reach any altitude.
So, celebrate this time, and look forward
With expectation, not behind!
Happy 30th Birthday to you
Famous Birthday Poems
Oh, the years do roll by quickly. We realize how true that is as we get older. When we are young we think old is far away. But before you know it you are turning 30, 40, 50, and 60. Our collection of poems on aging is a good reminder of how quickly the years pass by.
Poet: Kate Summer
As you turn thirty we wish for you
Happiness in all you do
And a thought for each letter of thirty
Is our wish for you:
T is for
time to enjoy all that life offers
H is for
health and happiness for everyday
I is for
ideas and dreams for goals to set
R is for
relaxation and rainbows
T is for
thankfulness for all your blessings
Y is for
youth in mind and soul.
