TO  MOM  WITH  LOVE

When you are 50 nobody cares            If your hat is odd, nobody stares             You can leave off the stays if they happen to pinch             Nobody cares if you add on an inch.

Your hips may widen, your stomach may bulge           Nobody cares if your age you divulge          Nobody whistles when your passing by          On sensible heels, you'll meet no roving eye.

The candy you used to give up with a sigh You can take all you please when the dish passes by         Your suits at the tailors, must have a small gore        Your belt at the waistline needs two inches more.

So now you are 50, take time out for fun          Children all married, house work all done          Put on your bifocals, take your teeth off the shelf          After all you are 50 ~ Why not be yourself ?

I found this in the paper. It was written for a mom on her bithday, and no Authors name.
