Medium Poems

Half a Century

Half a century has gone by,
How time has flown, oh my.
Fifty years of memories made,
And many more to come, I’m persuaded.

Youthful days may have passed,
But wisdom gained is unsurpassed.
Experience has taught you well,
And life story is there to tell.

Fifty candles on the cake,
And only halfway, for goodness sake.
Embrace the journey, enjoy the ride,
The best is yet to come; don’t hide.

Golden Age

The golden age has arrived,
A milestone of life survived.
Fifty years, and still going strong,
Seems like yesterday you belonged.

With age comes grace and dignity,
A confidant in who you came to be.
You still have much to achieve,
Your determination, I nowhere deceive.

Golden years of life to come,
Savor memories of what we’re from.
With family, friends, and loved ones near,
The golden age is one to hold dear.

Fifty & Fabulous

Fifty years and fabulously,
You’ll find no better company.
A decade of accomplishment,
And all the stories that they meant.

Some say life begins at fifty,
Those who think otherwise are thrifty,
With nothing left to gain or lose,
The world simply confuses.

The future is limitless, and the past now clear,
The present moment is something to cheer,
For you, my friend, are fifty and fabulous,
A milestone one can’t label as ridiculous.

Long Poems

Get up, people! It’s time to celebrate!

Let’s raise a cheer for a milestone year,
Fifty candles on the cake,
You’ve come so far, through joy and tears,
Let’s celebrate today, for goodness’ sake!

This is a time for reflection,
For memories old and new,
It’s also a time for direction,
For dreams that are still to come true.

You’ve reached a major milestone,
And it’s time to take a bow,
Fifty years of laughter and love,
You’ve made it through until now.

So let’s celebrate the person you are,
Your achievements and all you’ve done,
For everyone who knows you,
Is proud to call you their son/daughter.

You’ve earned this special day,
For you have touched so many lives,
Your kindness and your generosity,
Make us all feel lucky to be alive.

You’ve always had a zest for life,
A spark that sets you apart,
Your sense of humor, wise advice,
Are appreciated from the start.

Fifty years is something else,
And you’ve got so much to show,
This is your time to bask in the sun,
And let all your best qualities glow.

So get up, people! It’s time to celebrate,
A milestone year worth waiting for,
Let’s take this moment, embrace it tight,
And shower you with more and more.

The joys of the past, the hopes of the future,
Are yours to hold and treasure,
And as you enter this next chapter,
You do so empowered with pleasure.

So here’s to you, on this special day,
We cheer and applaud you loud,
For being the standout person you are,
And for making us all so proud.
