80 You Turn
Poet: Samatha C. Ringle

Today is the day 80 you turn
Happiness you have earned
Wishing you an awesome day
And a Happy Birthday we do say.

Eight Decades
Poet: C. A. Lynch

Oh, the years have surely flown,
Eight decades of wisdom shown.
At eighty, you've seen it all,
From disco dances to VHS's fall.

No need for candles on your cake,
Just one stick of dynamite, for goodness sake!
You're a prankster, old and bold,
With stories that never get old!

So here's to eighty, a milestone we cheer,
The best is yet to come, my dear!

Funny 80th Birthday Poems

Eight Decades
Poet: C. A. Lynch

The decades have gone 8 to be exact
We can't believe they have gone so fast
Why it seems like only yesterday
We celebrated 40 with you as a holiday.

Now another 40 have gone by
But you still have that twinkle in your eye.
We can only hope and pray to be like you
As age is only a number to you!

Poems About Getting Older

An Inspiration
Poet: Tom S. Gold

You truly are an inspiration to us all
You have a purpose, you answered your call
Helping others you never stop
You keep on going you never drop.

Who would believe you are 80 years old
You live your life, nothing is on hold
May God bless you on this day
Love and happiness you do display.

What Do I Say
Poet: B. R. Clement

What do I write in this greeting card
Do I say best wishes and regards
How do I recognize all you have done
The happiness you give us and the fun.

The years have been good to you
80 years you have been through
Your smile is one I love to see
Talking to you is so easy.

Wisdom of the years you share
I know how much you care.
So on this 80th birthday, I say
Love you so much in every way!

So on this 80th birthday, I say Love you so much in every way!

Double Forty
Poet: B. R. Clement

Double forty and what do you get
The age you are turning, but don't be upset
There are many who never see this age
Life moves on it is just a different stage
A time to share the wisdom you have gained
Be proud of the age you have attained.
So, celebrate this special day
Have a happy birthday!

His Eightieth Birthday
Poet: Mrs. C. K. Smith

I note the silver halo
About the dear one's head,
I note the voice so mellow
In all that he has said.

His ripened visage tells me
He has not lived in vain,
However strong the ills be,
He never does complain!

Though physically aged.
His spirit always young,
He leaves no things engaged in
With head, or hand, or tongue,

He's growing old gracefully
No, no, he is not old
He stands upright as ever
And walks as straight and bold.

The cheerful never do grow old.
They only seem more ripe;
This is a tale that is twice told.
But never old or trite!
