On Reaching 49.

Another year and a bit to go,
before you reach the big five O!
but do not worry, never fear,
make the most of your 49th year.

Do all the things you want to do,
make them happen, see them through.
Don't leave it till you're old and grey
Enjoy life NOW, seize the day!

May your birthday be the best so far,
when you wish upon that lucky star.
Good health and happiness to you,
success in writing poems too!

    49 I remember when I hit 50, that wasn't fun. But turning 40 was the worst. By 50 I'd just accepted my fate, lol. I just pretend that I am twenty-nine now.
