Happy 50th birthday, you are officially old,
Still kicking and screaming, if truth be told.
The time has passed in the blink of an eye.
The things you’ve done, most did not try.
You called it fun, most thought it insane,
Nothing deterred you, not even pain.
Courageous, determined, with a single fear,
Regret for not trying; never adhere.
Happy 50th birthday, you are officially old.
A two time survivor, not ready to mold...
Adult diapers are available for the uncontrolled.
Do not worry, it’s just decay,
And now, of course, your hair is turning gray.
Cannot decipher, without reading glasses,
The lists of names in obedience classes.
Perhaps you ARE slower, although I thought not,
Yet your arm IS laid open from a 5 month old Rott.
Happy 50th birthday, you are officially old.
Embrace the new horizon about to unfold.
Through chemo fog, you’re not losing your mind,
When you forget, I’ll try to remind.
Another year may have passed,
But through it all you had a blast!
Do not worry about your age,
at least you get to turn another page.
So Happy Birthday my dear, sweet friend.
I hope all your dreams come true, for friends like you, in this world are few.
