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.
And with experiences comes knowledge
That should cause you some optimism.
Oh, yes 50 brings wrinkles and gray hair
But, really, who cares.
Don't let your age stress you out
Let us sing and give you a shout:
Happy 50th Birthday to you
We love you that's true!
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
The day to celebrate has come at last,
Fifty marks the start of middle age,
Blow out the candles make a wish,
Fifty a new chapter, turn the page!
Do not mope about being fifty,
Celebrate this half-century
You've still got lots of life to live,
Tomorrow, fifty will be a memory!
The poem celebrates turning fifty as the beginning of middle age, encouraging the reader to embrace this milestone with joy. It suggests blowing out candles, making a wish, and viewing fifty as a new chapter in life. The tone is positive, urging the reader not to dwell on the age but to celebrate the half-century mark, emphasizing that there's still much life to live.

Fifty candles lit for you,
let's celebrate with a due!
Fifty years you have seen come and go,
A half-century of friends to show.
Happy fifty to you this day -
You deserve a huge bouquet!
We give you fifty cheers for your special day
It truly is a milestone in many ways.
Happy 5 0, best wishes we do send
From me and all your friends.
Funny Birthday Poems For Friends

On this birthday don't feel stress
Realize that you are blessed.
You reached another year
You are doing good that is clear.
Count your blessings one by one
From the morning rising sun
To the love of family and friends
May your happiness never end
Don't let 50 get you down
Don't cringe and frown
But instead, be thankful for
You had another year and now more!
Getting to 50 has been a climb
You are at your prime
With a positive mind
At any age, happiness, you will find!
Poems on Aging
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
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Here you are, fifty, you cannot deny.
No one can say you've barely survived,
That precious half-century has arrived,
And you should be praised for having thrived.
Through difficulties that daunted and pressured,
You have defied the odds like a record-setter.
So cheers to years, Happy Birthday to you
Fifty doesn't mean you are through.
Birthday Poems
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 the 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!
