Fiftieth Birthday
Fifty today! Wow! Don't be so sad!
Take our word for it, it's not that bad.
If you look back, you'll see the hill that you've climbed.
If you look straight ahead, The climb is behind.
Oh, don't think it's easy going downhill.
Your old joints and muscles
Can lead to a spill.
But don't be discouraged, and
Do not despair,
There's another hill ahead,
Sixty is there!
