Don't You Fret
Poet: C. A. Lynch

Forty years have come and gone,
And now you're feeling like a pawn.
Your hair is graying, your back is sore,
You're not as spry as you were before.

But don't you worry, don't you fret,
You're not quite ready to be put to bed.
You'll still go out and have some fun,
And enjoy life under the sun.

So here's to forty, it's not so bad,
You're still alive, you're not yet mad.
You'll take each day as it comes your way,
And enjoy life in every way.

You're Just Getting Started
Poet: C. A. Lynch

At forty, you're just getting started,
But there's no denying, it's not all lighthearted.
The wrinkles and gray hairs may start to show,
But hey, you've earned them, so off they go!

No more wasted hours on fickle crazes,
You wear stretchy pants without any gazes.
You leave excuses behind, no need to pretend,
At forty, my friend, life's just beginning again!

You've gained wisdom and experience with age,
And now you can show restraint and turn the page.
You're in the prime of your life,
And you have the wisdom to handle strife.

So let's raise a glass to this milestone year,
And celebrate all that you hold dear.
You're fabulous at forty, that's for sure,
And you have many more adventures in store!

Each New Challenge
Poet: C. A. Lynch

At forty years old, you, my friend, are quite bold,
Confident in your choices, or so I'm told.
You're not afraid to take risks and try new things,
And you're sure that success is what the future brings.

But let's not forget that you're not perfect yet,
You still make mistakes, and sometimes you fret.
But that's okay because you know how to learn,
And with each new challenge, you aren't as stern.

So here's to you, my friend, on your special day,
May you continue to grow in every way.
I hope that this year brings you joy and fun,
And that you keep being awesome because you're not done!

You're A Kid At Heart
Poet: C. A. Lynch

Happy 40th birthday to you,
You've come so far, it's true.
You've established your career,
And your personal life is dear.

But you're a kid at heart, that's clear,
With your joking style and cheer.
You bring laughter to every day,
That help keep the blues at bay.

You're stable and secure,
But your spirit is still pure.
You're a shining star,
No matter where you are.

So let's raise a glass to you,
And all the things you do.
May your life be full of fun,
And may you always be number one!

You've Got Some Rust
Poet: C. A. Lynch

A 40-year-old is like a boat,
That's been around for quite a while.
It's seen some storms while its been afloat,
And it's been through many a trial.

It's got some rust, it's got some wear,
But it's still sailable, that's for sure.
It's got some stories it can share,
And it's still got some life left in store.

Though strength and vigor may have waned,
And rough seas may seem hard to bear,
The knowledge gained cannot be feigned,
And wisdom comes with every hair.

So happy birthday to this 40 year old boat,
That's weathered many a storm.
May it continue to stay afloat,
And keep on sailing among the throng!

So happy birthday to this 40 year old boat, That's weathered many a storm. May it continue to stay afloat

Life's Hilarity
Poet: C. A. Lynch

At forty, you're focused on your career,
Success is what you hold dear.
But don't take yourself too seriously,
Or you'll miss out on life's frequent hilarity.

Mistakes you make are bound to happen,
But don't let them dampen
Your spirit or your sense of humor,
Or you'll be a boring old boomer.

So here's to you, my dear friend,
May your career success never end.
And when you make a mistake or two,
Just laugh it off and say "woo hoo!"
