Forty Years Old
Poet: Catherine PulsiferAt forty, you've learned a thing or two,
Through ups and downs, you’ve grown right through.
The path you’ve walked, both smooth and rough,
Has made you strong, yet kind and tough.

From lessons gained, you're quick to share.
You guide the young with words so wise,
A steady help, a trusted guide.

On My Fortieth Birthday
Poet: John ImrieForty years of age to-day!
Ah! how time doth pass away;
Like a pleasant summer's day,
Or like children's hours of play!
Now I've reach'd ripe manhood's prime,
Fain would bar the march of time;
Raven locks now tipp'd with grey,
Show the signs of sure decay.
Grateful love my heart doth fill, —
Reach'd the summit of life's hill ;
Safe through many an anxious care,
"Thank Thee, Lord," my daily prayer.
Now a-down "life's other side,"
Knowing not what may betide;
Trusting where I cannot trace,
Till I see God face to face!
Let the years, then, come and go,
Fraught with weal or mix'd with woe;
I will trust my Father's love
Till I reach His home above!
