50th Birthday Poems

1. Magical Age, Fifty!
   Poet: Julie Hebert, © 2012
   
   To you we say, Happy 50th birthday
   We can't believe you hit that magical age
   We are happy that it is you, not us
   Who is going through this new stage.
   
   Don't be stressed about getting older,
   We all have to age at some point.
   It's nice to have someone to warn us,
   And you are the one we appoint.
   
   So tell us how turning 50 has affected you,
   Are you wrinkled, exhausted or sore?
   Aging can be very nasty,
   So glad you are the one keeping score.
   
   Try not to think about 50 and getting older,
   Think of it as becoming wise.
   Okay, that last statement is way too funny,
   I should not be telling such lies.

   Your birthday may be causing you stress
   You find yourself wishing your age could be less.
   But just think of the 50 years experience you have
   Those past years should make you glad.

   But, really, who cares.

Poems on Aging



4. 50 Years Gone By
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   Stress will kill you that is what they say
   So don't let your birthday stress you in any way
   No sense moaning about 50 years gone by
   Set your goals and let them fly.
   
   No one is guaranteed life tomorrow
   Don't waste yours sitting in sorrow
   Look forward, don't stay in the past
   Life is too short to stay downcast.
   
   Happy 50th Birthday we wish for you
   We love you that is so true!




Life Is Too Short Poems



5. Turning Fifty
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   Turning fifty, don't be blue
   Think of it as a stage that is new
   New wrinkles, new aches
   A big birthday cake.
   
   But really 50 is great
   You have now made most mistakes
   You have wisdom of the years
   That is what makes 50 so dear.
   
   Fifty may be a shock,
   But you can't turn back the clock
   So just enjoy your day
   And don't worry about going gray!
