Fifty Years Young Poem by Ivan Brooks Sr

This day is like a big dream
Fiftieth birthday is today's byword
Blessed is the man inside me
For this life, I thank you Lord
Then confirms a quick look at myself
I look classic but I was graying
Just a mere shadow of youth left
My middle age stomach growing
A milestone I must proudly own
So blessed to be gracefully aging
Signs this beautiful life is winding now

This day is a very special day
Cute and old is part of God's grace
Thank you Lord for my long stay
A look tells me many are outta the race
The old me is slower but yet I march
With Still much of my beautiful mind left
I can pen spoken words sitting on a yacht
Signs that right now I'm living the best life.
