At thirty I felt like a woman
finally adult
thirty nine was harder
and it happened like a jolt

fearing that I've left behind
my final thirties stage
facing new horizons
at my newfound ripe old age

suddenly my forties come
this age a total shock
because I felt so young again
felt steady like a rock

somehow I felt born again
a new life just begun
Finally I felt respect
that only age brought on

Forty's been my favorite age
though now I'm forty three
Fifty will come soon enough
I'll work real hard to see...

That every day is beautiful
And every age is blessed
Every moment is a gift
Unwrap gently, make it best
