I'm 50 Today

 I looked in the mirror to see some signs,

Like Dark spots or some tiny lines.

"You don't have any wrinkles" my friends say

but how long will it stay that way?

Wow, they exclaim, the big 5-0,

 I don't feel any different though

Then when I turned 40 or 30 or 20

Except now I have kids and a lot more money

What if I am a young person in mind and heart

trapped in the body of some old fart

I mean what if my mind and heart stay so young

and I am too old to move or get anything done

Will I still be nutty and funny, in one place

when age spots and wrinkles DO cover my face

And will I even laugh at my incontinence too

and say to my kids HA! I peed on YOU!!

I get kids who check me out

and I yell "I Could be your mom"

I mean whats that about? 

My son even gets upset and he'll shout

Hey don't you remember we used to hang out?

This is my mom, you met her before

When you came to the house and she answered the door

He sits back in a huff cursing under his breath

still I think Its kinda fun that I'm an M-I-L-F....

But as I look in the mirror I realize

that someday my eyelids will droop over my eyes

and I'll have those lovely laugh lines surrounding my mouth

and everything else below my neck will go south....

But today people think I look young and I feel great

So, whats the big deal if I  tell them I just turned 38?
