Fancying My Fabulous Fifties (Poem)
Fancying My Fabulous Fifties
[bctt tweet=”It’s my time to shine, to rep my King and touch the world. #quote” username=”edithsmusings”]
I used to think a person’s “fabulous fifties” was just a fancy term
A known expression-turned euphemism to escape unpleasant reality
I thought it ridiculous that middle age could be seen as such
I sneered at what I called the vanity that dreamt this up
I was never bothered about age, hardly took it to heart
I was busy fighting my battles, keeping the demons at bay
But the years flew past and here I am by the mercy of God
Can’t believe I’ve been around for half a century plus plus
I may have changed but it’s in a lovely way, I would say
I got a fuller figure, a wider smile, a softer approach to folks
I’m loving the Lord, trying to make what difference I can
And by His grace, I’m learning and growing as I do His will
So yes, there’s such a thing as a person’s fabulous fifties
It’s my time to shine, to rep my King and touch the world
The devil didn’t think I’d be here still, looking oh so good
But the Lord had plans and He always has the last say
All glory to Jehovah as I celebrate my birthday today
He’s been my Ebenezer, my ever-present help in trouble
He’s making my light to shine brighter with each new day
And He’s got me fancying my fabulous fifties no end

What a lovely poem! Happy & blessed fabulous fifties! Sister Edith
Thank you so much, Deb, for dropping by on this special occasion. I’m glad you love the poem. More your ink flow ceaselessly to bless humanity in Jesus’ name.
Amen! Likewise
Happy Birthday, Edith! I have to say Yes to your poem! A softer approach to people–for sure … I guess (for me, anyway) it took that long (and there’s more chipping away to go) to soften my rough edges! Praying you have a blessed year!
Oh Dianne, I’m so honoured by your visit, and yes, the Lord continues His work in us to the glory of His holy name. I pray for God’s overflowing grace on your ministry and other endeavours in Jesus’ name.
Happy Birthday Aunty
Thank you so very much and God bless you richly in Jesus’ name.
I hear people wishing others to age gracefully. But in the lane of fifties, it’s difficult to find ageing in you. This is not because you implied it in your expression but you picture says so better. Your black eyelids are still as deep black and well trimmed as those of the teenage. Your lips still full and still retaining a single stripe that symbolise happiness; your cheeks set in slight puffs that indicate balls of laughter hidden beneath. And, lack of wrinkles and your deep black hairs prove that you are wonderfully and fearfully made. I want to believe that if queens are chosen or made by these impressions, you would lead the pack! I won’t be surprised if at sixty or more your beauty did not wane!
Meanwhile enjoy your good gifts from God. Happy birthday!!
Awwww, this is so beautifully phrased. Thank you, Franklin. But the hair is a wig oh, Lol! May God’s blessings abound upon you and your family in Jesus’ name.
Yes your smile got broader and and you got fuller, and God’s grace got bigger in your life. You inspire me a lot, happy Birthday to you MA.
Glory to God, dearie! You ate highly blessed in Jesus’ name.
Happy birthday ma’am. God bless you for your great impact and contributions both to me and others. God keeps you, keep blessing lives. Love you!
Amen. Love you back, Princess, and May God bless you more in Jesus’ name.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU MA….wishing you more years to come,long life and prosperity in Jesus name, Amen!..So sorry ma for wishin you this late…u re a special,kind,blessed,lovely teacher 2 us all and may u continue to grow in the lord, Amen.
Amen. It’s appreciated, my dear!
God bless you ma and may he continue to take you to greater heights. Age with grace.
Amen in Jesus’ name. Thanks a lot, Shalom, and remain blessed.
Happy birthday ma.God bless you richly,You are really a source inspiration. Age with grace.
Many more years to you ma..may the good lord continue to bless you.
Amen in Jesus’ name. Bless you, Nnedinso!
Our God who fashioned mighty mountains, arranged the tides to come and go, formed the most delicate flower- decided the world needed one of you as well!! And only one- because you are unique and special. But 50?! You are not!?
Lol, April! I’m actually more than 50 and have been for a while, that’s why I can write about enjoying my 50s. Still laughing. You made my day! And thank you for your sweet words. You’re a wonderful friend and I thank God so much for you.
Happy birthday in arrears Aunty! I wish you the best of God’s blessings. Age with God’s grace ma’am. Sorry, this is coming late here.
It’s okay, my dear! I appreciate it. You are blessed!
U r a blessing to our generation. God bless u ma nd many more yrs ahead to u.
Amen. I appreciate your kind words, Chidi! May God lift you higher in Jesus’ name.
I would have said I feel bad to have missed your birthday, but it will be against the spirit of the celebration to do so. Am sorry, however, to have missed it. As for my belated birthday wish, My Almighty God graciously bless you, your family, your career and shield you from the devilish eyes of the enemy. May you be marooned by His Mercy and engulfed by His Love, so that You will continue to experience classical upliftments in all spheres of your life. I therefore celebrate you and with You, in this remarkable moment of your life. Wishing you a terrific celebration and fabulous fifties.
Amen and Amen. I am super grateful and pray that God place you at the right place at the right time to harvest all the blessings He’s appointed for you in Jesus’ name.
SHE IS A HARDWORKING WOMAN. SHE HAS A GREAT WILL-POWER AND PHYSICAL STRENGTH WHICH MOST WOMEN LACK. SHE HATES A LAZY PERSON. SHE LOOKS UNTOUCHED BY AGE. SHE IS TALL, WITH AN ELEGANT SHAPE AND AN ALERT GAIT. SHE IS BEAUTIFUL EVEN IN THIS HER FIFTIES. HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THIS WOMAN OF GOD. FROM ME, I AND MYSELF OZURUMBA IHEANYICHUKWU GODWIN UR SON.
Wow, this beautiful, Iheanyi! But tall? I wish! God bless you much much in Jesus’ name.
Happy birthday in arrears ma, wullnp and may your happiness grow with each passing day through the many many birthdays that surely are ahead of you.
Sorry it is belated. Age with grace ma.
I appreciate, my dear. And Amen to your good wishes in Jesus’ name.
God is really wonderful… Even in your fifties he still keeps you pretty and lovely like you are in your early thirties.. #Smiles# I must say you are really fancying your fabulous fifties in the Lord. I know most women of your age bracket who look worn out and old but you are as pretty as ever. May the good Lord keep you shining and bubbling for him and in him…. You are a blessed woman Ma and may his love continue to hold you to see many more fabulous years ahead IJN…. AMEN…. I love you MA but God loves you the most to have kept you for me blossoming by the day….. Remain blessed!!!!
Our God is good, Vivian. He is indeed our Ebenezer. I cannot thank Him enough. All glory to His name and abundant blessings to you and yours in Jesus’ name.
ma, may the good God that brought u to this fabulous fifties endow u with the requisite wisdom that will lead u into ur sixties triumphantly. happy birthday ma.
Thank you very much, Victor! May the Lord grant you long life and fulfillment too in Jesus’ name.
Ma, I can’t believe that you are now in your fifties because you don’t look it. You look pretty, happy always and eager to always help young folks like me. God has been really good to you. As you impact the knowledge of God in others, so shall God impact more on you. I thank God for making me meet a lovely woman like you. Ma, you are really more than u can imagine.
Glory to our loving God! He keeps and blesses us beyond our expectations. I’m also glad to meet young people like you and the learning is mutual, my dear. God’s grace in all you do in Jesus’ name.
How Beautiful! Makes us aging so gracefully. Thank you for Blessing us with your poem!
Thank you so much, Yolanda, for your visit and comment. You are sooo blessed!
Beautiful poem, WOW! Loved it!
Thanks a whole lot, Rita! You are blessed!
Love this! I agree the 50 year mark begins a season of being comfortable with who God made you to be. Enjoy your 50’s decade!
Hi Gloria! I’m actually over 50, just didn’t write about it before. Hope you and yours have been fine. You are richly blessed, dear sis, in Jesus’ name.
Your ink has flowed through every heart that came in contact with you. You are an inspiration to us all, A mother to all and sundry. May the almighty God keep you, there are many good tidings coming your way. Amen.
I was actually surprised the first day i set my eyes on you during my first year in UNN, having been informed then that you are 50 plus. I was expecting someone older than you and probably not as beautiful as you. I will always be happy that i met you not just as a teacher but as a mother of all.
God bless you more and more ma.
they say fifties is the new thirties, you’re always glowing and you’re someone i have always known to smile no matter the season. and your laughter is always joyous…Happy belated Birthday Ma…
Thank you so much, Chiamaka! May the Lord multiply your joy too in Jesus’ name.
According to a popular Nigerian high life singer, “let’s beg God, for us to live, grow old and grow grey hair”. this is just to tell us how wonderful, or how blessed old age is… So enjoy your old age aunty… It’s a blessing and a position everybody wishes to attain.
Whoa, hold your horses, dear fellow! I’m grateful for your good wishes but I am NOT in my old age. It’s called middle age and it can be youth if the Lord keeps you fresh. Get it? Lol!
71 comments! Obviously you struck a cord! I’m far into my fabulous 60’s and fast approaching the fabulous 70’s. God is so faithful to use us at every stage of life and give us blessings along the way. Happy belated birthday!
Yes, He is, Donna! May He keep you in good health and vigour for many more decades to come in Jesus’ name.
Really happy for you ma. I can testify on your behalf that the Lord has been faithful to you. I wish you more glorious years ahead. you will witness and enjoy in them all. Happy belated birthday!
Ma, the more the years pass, d younger u become. just like what patience ozokwo sang in her song,”am 20 years old, next year I will be 19……….,that is exactly what is happening to you. Age graciously, beautiful mummy!
I must confess i admire your youthful looks and carriage in your fifties. Remain stronger, cuter, and finer in the Lord ma.
Just as He has promised us, with long life I will bless you, God has done it over and over again. I pray for you, more grace, blessings, favour and revelation. You are an epitome to be emulated by our generation. more power to your elbow.
Let me just say that you are a manifestation of the goodness of God and an example to many. I rejoice with you ma, happy birthday and age with grace.
May God help me to see my fabulous fifties. Keep glowing and burning for God ma.God bless you
Recollecting what you did today during the examination (announcing and performance) solidified my obvious reasons that the world has been blessed by an amazing person like you.
Recollecting some of your expressions coated with religious undertune, “You are blessed”, “Bless you”, make every day brighter with your love and warmth! You deserve celebration today and it will never depart from you and your family. Happy birthday, Aunty Edith! Happy Birthday, my finest lecturer!
Thank God for his grace upon you. Many more years in good health, I pray.
Aunty Edith fifties fits you o! Keep enjoying your fabulous fifties, nothing do you.
Great words! I wish you more fulfilling years ahead. Thank you Ma for sharing this inspiring poem.
I pray to God almighty to keep blessing you so that through you, others will be inspired more and more.
You are worth celebrating Ma.
Many fruitful years ahead Ma.
many more fabulous years ahead, maam.
may God Almighty give you good health and more strength as you age to keep touching lives and being a mentor to the youth. Amen.
This is a Golden Age for you Ma and should be celebrated with so much love
May the grace of God continue to abide with you. May He continue to bless you so that you may continue to bless others. Enjoy your new age, Ma.
I am so happy you have reached a milestone in your life and you have so far helped most of us to aspire to do great things. WE LOVE YOU
Many more years to you Ma. May you remain young at heart.
I really appreciate you in your fabulous fifties. As you said, you now have a broader smile which I like the most about you and also your love for God which makes you stand out. Many more years to you ma. Hip Hip Hurray!!!!!
WOW! Its actually a fancy fabulous fifties.. The soft approach to folks is what I have witnessed and I can actually testify.

You are leaving a footprint which I wish to follow.. Ride on Ma

Your fabulous fifties, how lovely! so many would have thought of themselves as grannies at this point but you Ma, you are ever energetic. Your broad smile, your soft approach to folks and even your laughter pleases the heart. You are an epitome of God’s beauty. Looking forward to seeing more poems on your sixties, seventies, eighties and more.
Fifty, yet full of life and beauty. You have made a lot of impact on the lives of people that have come in contact with you: to the youths you are an inspiration; to the earth you are a blessing. Smile on, enjoy your fabulous fifties and anticipate more fabulous years.

YOU are beautiful in all ways and to plus it, you look amazingly and young. I pray that the light of Jesus shine on you all the days of your life.
When we walk with God he fiils our days with laughter. Even in our old age his glory radiates in us. Indeed you’re a living proof of God’s mercy and love. God bless you ma!
Ma,the hand of God is truly upon you, u are a true interpretation of the promise of God that says “Those that put there trust in the lord shall be like a tree planted by the waters and spreadeth out her root by the rivers and shall not be seen when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green and shall not be careful in the year of drought. Sincerely ma, I would want to be like you in my fifties.
Wow!!!!!
Fifties really?

Keep impacting lives!
God bless you.
First of all, you are ageing beautifully! Secondly, as we approach yet another one of your birthdays, I pray God continues to use you as a vessel to touch young lives.
It is a thing of utmost joy to witness this, and here comes an epitome of a good and responsible-caring mother testifying the goodness of the Lord in her life at her fifties. The good works you have been doing, they speak for you, and God will keep you going so that people’s lives will continue to be impacted upon. Multiples of fruitful and impactful years ahead in Jesus name. Amen! You are actually healthier, stronger and brighter with each passing day. Happy fabulous fifties!
Thank God for the grace and I pray I also have a fabulous 50 represent my king well .
Wow! This is unbelievable. You still look as young as. Me God who has in His infinite mercy brought you this far protect and give you more wisdom to accomplish greater things on this earth.
The world is indeed blessed by a fabulous person like you. Thank you for all the lives you’ve allowed God use you to touch positively. Only heaven can reward you ma.
What a wonderful heavenly Father we’ve got who’s got our backs and whose love, mercies and care knows no end. He is indeed faithful and ‘God is good’ is not a cliché but will always be true in the good times and bad because we are certain that our father is a constant God. Woooow!!
Years can pass so fast that we begin to wonder how it happened. However the thing is to live life to its fullest; make the impact you can make and take one day at a time as it comes.
Also cast all your cares upon him for he care for yaa!
Being fifty is something most older folks look up to. When my mum turned fifty, her birthday was a bash. It’s an event that hasnt left our minds. Just wondering how i will be like when I’m fifty.

I pray that the Good Lord bless you richly for the divine work you carry out in the lives of His children.

It is one thing to exist and it is another thing to live. When you exist, you are alive no doubt. But when one lives, he or she makes impact through their actions into the lives of others.
I am not saying this because it is a nice thing to say, but because it is the truth. Ma, I thank God for your life for from it, lot of us are being blessed, gaining more knowledge and being stronger for our tomorrow. May God increase your years and add your heart’s desires to them. Amen.
Dr. Edith Ohaja, you are fearfully and wonderfully made. Indeed the spirit of the Lord is upon you. When I study your write ups, I see the wisdom of Solomon. Thank God for meeting a personality like you. I love you ma
Wow! Happy birthday Ma. May God continue to be your master-planner as you age with grace. @50 you still look 30; that is amazing… U are a pretty lady…God bless u….

“Birthdays are a new start, a fresh beginning and a time to pursue new endeavors with new goals. Move forward with confidence and courage. You are a very special person. May today and all of your days be amazing!”

Indeed, you’re changing ma, but in a lovely way.
I love you, Aunty Edith.
So beautiful to see an older person romanticize elderly years in this way ,this placid disposition amidst the trails of life makes it worthy to long for
Fancying My Fabulous Fifties (Poem) is very sweet poem every one needs to read. Getting to fifty is beautiful. This poem gives hope to the old.
Yes your smile got broader and you got fuller and God’s grace got bigger in your life. You inspire me alot.
