To be 50 is free, a time to think of me
To reflect on the past
And live for the future
And to learn from my life experiences
I am never too old to do the things that I enjoy doing
And there is no such a thing as I can’t, I can do lots of things if I only Tried
I got to be me
I got to be strong
I got to be open and honest
And never to be afraid to speak up
I won’t judge a person by its color,
What matter’s is what she has inside
I won’t let myself down, I will praise myself
I am happy to be alive
Life is precious, even though we live in a cruel world
Sometimes we have to be cruel to be kind
And every day is a blessing to wake up feeling good about you
I must think positive, and get rid of my negative thoughts
I will treat my neighbors and my friends with respect
I will avoid fights and arguments
God you are the reason for living
You filled my mind, my spirit, and my body with thy fresh blood
There are lot of people worst of then I am
I got everything I need
I got every reason to be proud of whom I am
I will leave my life one day at a time
I am God’s child
I have been put in this world for a reason; I have a mission here on Earth
I can’t be only taking in friendship, I got to give too
I want to be treated the same way I treat you
I hope to be around for a long time
I know that I got to take care of myself, because nobody else will take Care of me
I have to take every opportunity that comes around, to go out and meet New people
I have to keep busy with myself, otherwise I go crazy
I don’t want to be alone; I need people in my life
To make my days brighter, and to share my life with
I don’t want to die alone, and end up abandoned by my friends
I want to feel needed, because I belong in the community
I have a mind of my own, I have my own opinions
I think different than you
I do things in a different way then you
