It went so quickly, turning Fifty!

So young, vibrant, full-of-life.

Looking back, such a young girl,

smiling and laughing, and endlessly dreaming.

Now, here I am, a mere eight years older,

How I could cherish, being a little bolder.

The time passed so fast!

What happened to my past?

Here I struggle, to fit in these tight jeans, lol.

Put on that make-up, lighten up the crowd.

Curl my hair, fix it just perfect.

Well, I wish I could.

Or, maybe I should.

Oh, at this age, who knows anymore?

What fun it would be, to just be turning Fifty!
