Fifty

by Dr. Billy Ingram


Fifty…it ain’t no thang, it ain’t filthy, and it ain’t even a four-letter word. 
Haven’t you heard?…Fifty is like a bird that’s free; you know, liberty! 
Fifty is jubilee, a chance to be all you can be.

Fifty…it ain’t no thang, it ain’t about days, numbers or years. 
It’s taking life by the throat and conquering all your fears. 
Fifty is having the time of your life, because life is best lived without strife!

Fifty…it ain’t no thang, it’s leaving behind all the negativity, 
and thanking God for a half century. 
Fifty…it ain’t no low degree, misery or mystery, 
it’s standing tall because God set’s man free.

Fifty…it ain’t no thang, why worry or fret? 
God ain’t finished with you yet. 
Fifty…it’s taking the wings of the morning like the proud eagle, 
using all of life’s adversity and controversy, to rise to another anniversary.

Fifty…it ain’t no thang, it’s learning all of life’s lessons 
and counting daily all of God’s choicest blessings. 
Fifty…it’s always giving without remembering 
and always receiving without forgetting. 

Fifty…it ain’t no thang, it’s time to celebrate, 
don’t hesitate or allow others to playa hate. 
Take time to meditate on your maker, 
because some which are younger than you, are already with the undertaker…
