Fifty Poem by Ray Feasey

This comes about so rapid and yet after long years at times we forget
Of the wonders we saw without caring to look have perhaps passed us by

On occasion a mind prompt brings detail to brain as we elate at our memory
Battles lost the battles won, hills that were mountains when problem would come

Great confidence often masking such fear as new beginnings faced as they occurred
Having no past would makes one weak, its tragedies, victories, that make each unique

Head of family the proudest joy sharing caring forbidding and guessing what’s right
Laying down rules and allowing them broken from time to time just to develop a mind

Seeing past musical heroes and those of stage and film older by far that self this day
Fighting for limelight certain to bore an encouraged sibling who supports along way

Your respected rejected and never stop trying to make good your next dream
Failure ultimately becomes strength as direction may change but what fun it’s been

So much more to endure and develop and flourish and many years left to contribute
Look forward not past as you forge now ahead take your demons for they become tribute
