Today I am eighteen, I stand tall and strong
I say there is nothing that I can do wrong
I'm young and I'm free on a day to day spree
There's no one in this world that I'd rather be
Age is no object, the time is just right
Days are forever and so are the nights
I've partied and stayed up, no lesser the wear
I haven't a worry, I haven't a care
Then just like awakening, I opened my eyes
Today I am thirty! oh what a surprise!
I look back and ponder
I shed a few tears
I think of lost days that amounted to years
I sit back and think of past stuggles and strife
My children are growing and I've a new life
I look towards tomorrow with minimal doubt
I say to myself "What am I all about?"
Today I am fifty, it seems ----oh so long
To look back and visulize that boy tall and strong
I'm still far from weak
I've accomplished my plan
My boyhood is over
I'm now a grown man
But deep in my spirit
My youth still runs free
Today I am seventy, and still glad to be "me"
