Celebrating Fifty

Here we are another year gone by But this time I have grown Half a life time Surrounded by all of you Here we are me and all of you Mean the world to me I would not survived I had to strive Just keep my head above water Life is a beach you swim our drown Here we are Face to face celebrating I am still standing even when I was knocked to the ground When my smile was turned into a frown I was pulled up by faith lifted to higher place Here we are Thought I would not make it Thought It would be in destines hands Thought the cycle would not be broken Few times spoken Here we are Looking at fifty more years to come God willing Putting the past to rest Convincing my self of it While still having flash backs Regrets lingering in the air Here we are Wishes blown Hugs and kisses Just another year older
