60th Birthday Poems

1. Sixty Seems Like....
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   Sixty seems like such a big number
   Almost like a time of slumber.
   But looking at you that will not be
   Turning 60 and so happy.
   
   You say you don't feel your age
   It is just another life stage.
   You say you're wiser now
   You won't act 60, you vow.
   
   And then, there are those
   Who start to decompose
   At a younger age than you.
   You act and look young, that is true!
   
   Today they say the new sixty
   Is forty, and we think that is nifty.
   60 may be the years you have alive
   But you continue to thrive.
   
   So on this 60th birthday, we wish
   For you nothing but happiness.
   We celebrate and thank God above
   For you, and for all your love.
   
   Have a happy, happy birthday
   Live each and every day.
   We celebrate this special day
   And we love you in every way!

2. Growing Wiser
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   In sixty years, a lifetime's worth,
   With challenges faced, since day of birth,
   Through every trial, you've found our way,
   Growing wiser with each passing day.
   
   You've weathered storms, you've climbed steep hills,
   Gathered wisdom, shared life's thrills,
   In six decades, you've learned and grown,
   A tapestry of moments you've sewn.
   
   Now, on your 60th, let's celebrate,
   A journey rich, an incredible fate,
   With lessons learned, and battles won,
   Six decades lived, and you've just begun.
   
   May this birthday be the best one yet,
   Filled with joy, no hint of regret,
   For sixty years of strength and grace,
   Look to the future with a smiling face.




3. On Her Sixth Birthday
   Poet: Lillian E. Curtis
   
   Six times the years have circled round,
   And touched thy golden hair;
   Six times thou hast heard the sound.
   Of Spring birds in the air;
   Six times Winter's breath has fanned
   Thy brow of ivory white;
   Six times thy little hands have planned
   Summer's nosegays bright.
   Six times the crimson Autumn bud
   Thy rosy cheek hath shamed,
   And her rich and beauteous flood,
   'Fore thy violet eyes hath reigned.
   And thou standest 'mid the gay,
   Minus one grief or tear.
   To welcome thy glad birthday,
   And enter thy seventh year.
   We wish thee joy, dear little one,
   As we crown thy wavy hair,
   May thy life, so beautifully begun.
   Ne'er be less bright and fair.

4. Not Doomsday
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   I remember when sixty sounded so old,
   But now I have learned sixty can be bold.
   You have learned all the lessons,
   And few things in life threatens.
   You are older but wiser,
   And maybe a bit wider.
   So celebrate this birthday
   Turning 60 is not doomsday!




5. The Child In You
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   Don't let the child in you die
   Turning 60 is not reason to cry.
   Delight and celebrate the age you are
   You have more years, you can go far.
   
   Age is not a reason to stop
   Enjoy the candy and lollipops.
   Continue to find fun things to do
   Age is not a reason to be blue.
   
   Happy 60th birthday to you
   The child in you, is certainly not through
   Light up those candles on the cake
   Another year to celebrate, another year to take!

6. The Decades to 60
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   The decades go by and how we grow
   The things we learn and the things we know
   .
   The first decade of ten
   Life is easy except when
   School work we have to do
   Otherwise, we will be a fool.
   
   The second decade comes along
   And at 20 we are going strong.
   We have the energy and drive
   We live life and continue to thrive.
   
   Then the third decade suddenly appears
   And at 30 we find ourselves in arrears.
   The big 30 many will joke
   We feel like we are going broke.
   
   And before we know it 40 rolls around
   How did those decades compound?
   Forty years sounds so old
   We don't realize we are on the threshold.
   
   Five decades 50 does bring
   We are not sure of the feeling.
   We seem to slow down a bit
   But 50, really, we have a fit.
   
   And then the big 60 arrives
   And we realize that we survived.
   We have much more wisdom now
   We can see and understand how
   The years just roll on by
   Our age we no longer deny.
   
   So may this little poem express
   Our joy and happiness
   For you and your 60th birthday
   Always make time for lots of play.
   Age matters not you see,
   Thoughts determine how happy you'll be.
   
   A Happy Birthday we wish for you
   Turning 60 is not an issue.
   Enjoy your day, celebrate and be
   Thankful 60 you will see!
