50 years have past Those days now are faded The sunshine of my years Has now become shaded 50 years ago yet only yesterday That I was a little boy Running around the old home place With a heart full of joy 50 years of memories O ,the many faces I have known A few here still remain But many cherished now are gone 50 years have come my way And 50 years have left Looking back across the bridge of time I see fading images of myself How quickly from a boy I grew Growing up to become a man Given the choice if I had my way How I would love to be a boy again Spending my days as a soldier Sometimes a cowboy true Fishing for crawdads down at the creek Under the azure blue 50 years past seems so long But its really only a breath ago Like the waters of a mighty river How quickly the waters of time do flow 50 years of blessings To me God has given So many blessings undeserved In this 50 years of living This 50 years of life I have lived Has been filled with tears and smiles and glory All I have known and seen and done Are written upon the heart of my 50 year story.

HAPPY 50th BIRTHDAY ROBERT
50 years have past Those days now are faded The sunshine of my years Has now become shaded 50 years ago yet only yesterday That I was a little boy Running around the old home place With a heart full of joy 50 years of memories O ,the many faces I have known A few here still remain But many cherished now are gone 50 years have come my way And 50 years have left Looking back across the bridge of time I see fading images of myself How quickly from a boy I grew Growing up to become a man Given the choice if I had my way How I would love to be a boy again Spending my days as a soldier Sometimes a cowboy true Fishing for crawdads down at the creek Under the azure blue 50 years past seems so long But its really only a breath ago Like the waters of a mighty river How quickly the waters of time do flow 50 years of blessings To me God has given So many blessings undeserved In this 50 years of living This 50 years of life I have lived Has been filled with tears and smiles and glory All I have known and seen and done Are written upon the heart of my 50 year story.
