Beneath the sun's embracing glow, A birthday candle's gentle dance, Fifty-one summers come and go, Each wave a rhythm, each breeze a chance. On sandy shores, the years unfold, A life's mosaic in grains and shells, The beach, a timeless story told, Where ocean's whisper softly dwells. Yet in the hush of workday's hum, The seaside's call remains unbowed, For every task that's duly done, The tide returns, steadfast and proud. At fifty-one, like waves that crest, The heart finds joy in work and play, In every sunset, richly blessed, Another page, another day.
