Hi Debi.
This is a well rhymed poem reminds us that aging is something we can be at peace with.
Those decade birthdays always seem to be the hardest ones. But as long as you don't feel or look your age than it is just a number.
Happy belated Birthday. Sorry I missed it. I was out of state fora wedding and visiting family.

This is a nice way to thank your friends for your birthday greetings. I'm glad you liked receiving them, and that you have made peace with your new decade of life. You used great rhymes in your poem. Blessings. Carol

I think I'm the only one of your friends that haven't written you a poem for your birthday Debi, but there has been an outpouring of gratitude for your selfless devotion for writing for everyone else's birthday, you are receiving an appropriate honouring of your birthday, and deservedly so, beautifully written, blessings Roy

And rightly so! After all it is only a number right. Very wise words. I hope you had the best day got spoilt rotten!
I think we tend to go through different stages, for me I hated turning 30 and 5 years ago when I turned 40 it didn't bother me one bit! I wonder what hitting 50 will bring lol!
Best Wishes

LOL, Debi, that is certainly a great way to look at it. There is also the corollary to that. There ain't a dang thing you can do about it anyway. So, its good you are kicking back...and still kicking it!

Debi, This is a very well written poem about aging. Every day when I awake, I thank God for one more day He has given me to do His will. Some were not that blessed. Age is just a number, and God is so good to us. I don't look young and cute anymore, but I do look like the Lord wants me to look. A thankful child of God. Just remember who you belong to Debi. That should make you feel good regardless of age! love and blessings, Teri

I hope you've had a brilliant birthday, Debi. I've loved reading all the poems about you today. Next year I'll definitely remember to try and write one for you. I hope you have a great year ahead.

I'm glad you had a special birthday. You deserved the nice treatment after doing it for so many all year long. Age is a gift that many people don't live to see. It's something I need to work on accepting as well. Have a great day.

It is a lovely tribute to friends and a great philosophy on aging. So many lines are poignant, but I particularly like the final line, which sums it up. "For now on my life I will live, And not think about age at all." gayla

Debi,
This is an excellent poem. I like the way it flows and and ends. It sums up what a lot of us feel when being met with milestone birthdays, 40, 50, 60. I think those milestones make us take a deep look at ourselves. Fear not, God is on our side. I believe we are all born with a expiration date and when God wants us home he will call us.
