Your Thirty
Poet: Julie Hebert, � 2011

Today is the day we sing Happy Birthday,
As today thirty years ago you were born.
Hard to believe your 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, and 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.

Age
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

We Wish You
Author Unknown

We wish you joy on your 30th birthday
And all the whole year through
For all the best that life can hold
Is none to good for you

Getting Old?
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, � 2021

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.

The Years Fly By
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, � 2021

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.

As You Turn 30

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.
