I once feared so much this very day
When all eyes turn to look at me
My life has passed so quickly
Wasn’t it just yesterday I was three?
Sure I’ve experienced quite a lot
And seen much of the worldly sights
But as the days come and go
It is only now that I await the nights
Not because of what you may think
Or because I dread another year
It is because I am full of joy and wonder
And anxiously await as life’s twilight draws near
The big Five O is just another day
For those of us of high spirit
We look into the mirror and see ourselves
And smile as we just grin and bear it
We are who we are, a happy sort
Who relish in all that life has given
For no matter how much we age going forward
We’ll never just stop living
