50

"For 49 years", I said to myself, "I've been such a lucky star.
Although time has passed, who knew I'd make it this far?"
I've made some bad decisions and accomplished many good things;
And I can hardly wait to see what the future brings.
Fifty has arrived now. It's time for a brand new page:
I know it's only a number, but I still look sexy for my age.
Thank You, Almighty God, the Creator of heaven and Earth,
For allowing me to see another year of birth.
Yippee! Yahoo! And also, Yay me! It's celebration time, you know.
Happy birthday to me! For I just turned the Big Five-0.
