8 Turning 30 Poems

1. Your Thirty
   Poet: Julie Hebert, © 2011
   
   Today is the day we sing Happy Birthday,
   As today thirty years ago you were born.
   Hard to believe you're now thirty,
   Your youth is now gone, you should mourn.
   
   We all knew you were getting older,
   Just didn't realize how old you’ve become.
   We will try not to mock or tease you,
   As we will always think great of our chum.
   
   Thirty is just another number,
   Although it's the first step, to middle age.
   Now comes wrinkles, grey hair, baldness,
   You really should be hiding backstage.
   
   Okay, we've been kind of unhelpful,
   In making this birthday much fun.
   We'll roll out the carpet to introduce you,
   As on your birthday, you are truly number one.

2. The Clock Is Ticking Fast
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   Your twenties are behind you,
   The clock is ticking fast.
   Can't believe you're thirty,
   That went by so quick, the past!
   
   You may feel the same inside -
   But with few new wrinkles on your face.
   No need to grab the tissues -
   As for sure age has its place!
   
   But life still holds so many surprises,
   And years of joy to come.
   So  embrace this milestone
   And make thirty a lot of fun!


Entering your thirties is a swift transition from the twenties, marked by the ticking clock and a sense of time flying. Though you may feel unchanged inside, a few wrinkles may hint at the passage of time. Rather than dwelling on this, embrace the new decade, recognizing that age has its own significance. Approach this milestone with enthusiasm and make your thirties a time of fun and discovery.



3. Age
   Poet: Edward Tuck
   
   Age is a quality of mind:
   If your dreams you've left behind,
   If hope is cold,
   If you no longer look ahead,
   If your ambition's fires are dead
   Then you are old.
   
   But if from life you take the best,
   And if in life you keep the zest,
   If love you hold,
   No matter how the years go by,
   No matter how the birthdays fly,
   You are not old.

   You may feel you're getting old
   But let the truth be told
   Turning 30 you are at your prime
   Enjoy the day and take your time
   Savor the moment don't look back
   Set your goals and stay on track.
   
   Turning 30 is a milestone
   You decide you set the tone
   Where you want your life to go
   Up or down, or, fast or slow
   It is all up to you
   And what you do.
   
   Happy  thirtieth  we wish for you
   Remember that age is not the issue
   It is just a number that shows the years
   It is a time to put away your fears
   The next 30 years will go so fast
   Enjoy this time to the fullest, make it last.

6. The Years Fly By
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, © 2021
   
   It seems like yesterday when
   The age you were at was only ten.
   Then before we could turn around
   The age of twenty was then found.
   Now here today, we can't believe
   Thirty years you have achieved.
   Enjoy these years as we can tell you for sure
   The next thirty will fly by faster than before.




Birthday Poems



7. Life Begins
   Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
   
   Thirty is not a ripe old age
   Life just begins at this stage!
   Thirty is the prime of life, you see
   And, at times, life can be crazy.
   But, look at life with a positive attitude
   You can reach any altitude.
   So, celebrate this time, and look forward
   With expectation, not behind!
   Happy 30th Birthday to you
