As the years pass by, and I reach this day,
A celebration of life, a milestone on my way.
For it’s my anniversary, and I reflect upon the past,
Grateful for the blessings, each memory to last.

Closer to fifty, the journey unfolds,
Moments cherished, stories yet untold.
With every gray hair and wrinkle I acquire,
God’s grace illuminates, setting my spirit on fire.

In youth’s exuberance, I chased dreams so wild,
But now, wisdom’s whispers calm the inner child.
For God’s guiding hand, in every season of life,
Brings joy and contentment amidst any strife.

With each passing year, I gain insight anew,
Discovering the depth of God’s love that’s true.
He showers blessings upon me, unceasingly,
Filling my heart with joy, boundlessly and free.

Though my steps may slow, and energy wanes,
God’s presence within me, forever remains.
In His embrace, I find strength and grace,
As I embark on this next chapter’s embrace.

Be So, as I celebrate this milestone with glee,
I’m grateful for the journey that God lets me see.
For as I grow older, I find joy in His plan,
Closer to fifty, but forever in His hands.
