Ifty, fifty, swifty,
Crazy age, yet pretty somber,
Yet equal in stance.
Oh fifty buy me some experience,
So that I can stand tall,
With an energy filled with grace.
Oh fifty give me some advice,
Bring me some love,
So that my life may be filled,
With years of strength.
You dazzle me with,
Your strength,
You evoke a sense of freshness in me,
I knew not existed.
I was afraid to think,
About approaching my fifty,
Yet when I saw how,
Beautiful fifty was,
I was no longer intimidated,
By fifty.
So when I get there,
I will be grateful,
Because I no longer am,
Filled with fear,
But with a longing and understanding,
That fifty is a place to be.
