A wonderful colleague of mine wrote a very nice 40th birthday poem. She talks about her experiences at 39, and how she’s prepared for 40. Now, she wants to share it with everyone. Enjoy!
Fine Chardonnay!
It's hard to believe I'm 39.
But am I aging like fine wine?
They say 39 is the new 25
Could someone please tell my thighs.
My make-up free days are a thing of the past.
I just hope my concealer lasts.
What are these grey hairs atop my head.
Tell me Miss Clairol, should I go red?
These lines on my face are beginning to furrow
Soon they'll be deep enough for a rabbit's burrow
But joking and silliness aside
This has been a wonderful ride
So 40 I'm ready, bring what you may
I've decided, I'm a fine Chardonnay!

While reading the poem below (Life begins at 40), most might think it’s about a forty year old person. However, the ending reveals something else. Enjoy!
Life begins at 40
As you grow each year,
To the sky without fear.
Sound judgment and roots,
Sweeter than fruits.
With seasons you change,
Isn’t that strange?
Standing tall and strong,
You know you belong.
Many climb for support,
You’re a great sport.
At forty, a young tree,
We must all agree.

Miss or Ma’am?
Good morning dear ma’am,
Where’s my sandwich with ham.
Dinner at nine sounds insane,
Five or six is my domain.
Sensible shoes make sense,
Throw fashion over the fence.
Notice first gray hair,
Let’s try to give it some flare.
Your four door cars,
Seem like jail bars.
With wisdom and whining,
Those eyes are still shining.

On the opposite side of the spectrum we have .........
Primetime at 40
A mid-life crisis to forget,
Only temporary don’t you sweat.
Life insurance they try to sell,
“I’m not old,” you begin to yell.
You need glasses in the dark,
Where you used to make your mark.
A cold beer is your best friend,
Hangovers he will always lend.
Hair continues to fall out,
Sitting and waiting for your trout.
The first forty is to learn.
The next forty, you must return.

I’m not forty quite yet, but I do agree with that last line.
We spend the first forty years learning and the second forty teaching others what we learned.
A 40th birthday anniversary is a special and important milestone in one’s life. The following 40th birthday poem is intended to inspire that forty year old.
Life to Enroll
I realized, I was forty years old,
All this drama began to unfold.
Woke up, one morning; a pretty bad cold,
Rest in bed, repeatedly told.
I lay there in thought, uncontrolled
Upon defeat and surrender, I was not sold.
With a sudden spark, I became truly bold,
Jumped out of bed and youth filled with gold.
With peace and confidence, downstairs I strolled,
Opened the door, and life, I enrolled.
A few hurdles here, my way they were bowled,
Forty years of experience, success was foretold.
