I am grateful to see this day,
A milestone reached, come what may.
Fifty birthdays, fifty years,
Shining brighter, despite the fears.

How lucky I am to embrace the old.
Oh! How lucky I am to embrace the old.

Through endless treatments,
My family stood, my guiding lights.
Friends who cheered and steadied,
Doctors whose care I never forgot.

A birthday filled with laughter,
Each breath a triumph, each step sharper.
The wrinkles deep, the hair now gray,
They’re badges earned along the way.

How lucky I am to embrace the old.
Oh! How lucky I am to embrace the old.

The scars I bear are stories worn,
Of battles fought, of hope reborn.
With deep gratitude for every dawn,
For I am here, and I march on.

So here’s to life, to growing old,
To facing years both tough and bold.
How lucky I am to embrace the old.
Oh! How lucky I am to embrace the old.
