    The poem discusses the various physical and mental challenges that come with aging after 50. It describes fading eyesight and hearing, more frequent urges to use the bathroom, stiffness, arthritis, and a growing list of medications. However, it encourages looking on the bright side, noting that one is still alive and not buried in the ground. It urges lifting pains and struggles to God in prayer and finding strength in Jesus to continue being the best one can be, despite the challenges of growing older. The poem closes by looking forward to being whole with Jesus in the future rather than worrying about getting old.

    GREEN SIDE OF THE GRASS

    ON THE OTHER SIDE OF 50


    THERE’S SOMETHING YOU SHOULD KNOW
    THE EYESITE FADES, THE HEARING FAILS
    AND WHEN YOU SNEEZE THE BLADDER GOES
    THE WALK BEOMES A SHUFFLE
    THE BATHROOM’S NOW YOUR FRIEND
    CAUSE WITHOUT A SINGLE WARNING
    YOU’VE GOT TO GO AGAIN.

    THE WRINKLES IN THAT MIRROR


    JUST CAN’T BE ON YOUR FACE
    YOU THINK A STRANGER’S IN THE HOUSE
    CAUSE YOUR THINGS GET OUT OF PLACE.
    ATHRITIS COMES TO VISIT
    GRAVITY TAKES ITS TOLL
    THE LIST OF MEDS IS GROWING LONG
    JUST PART OF GETTING OLD.
    CHORUS
    LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE,
    YOU’RE ON THE GREEN SIDE OF THE GRASS
    YOU’RE NOT SIX FEET UNDER
    THIS DAY IS NOT YOUR LAST
    THOUGH THERE MAYBE SENIOR MOMENTS
    CAUSE THE MEMORY’S FADING FAST
    AT LEAST YOU’RE ON THE GREEN SIDE OF THE GRASS.
    YOU WAKE UP WITH THE CHICKENS
    YOU’RE IN THE BED BY EIGHT
    YOU WANT YOUR SENIOR DISCOUNT
    YOU WORRY ABOUT YOUR WEIGHT
    YOU CAN’T BE IN A HURRY
    YOUR PACE, IS LIKE A SNAIL.

    THE HIGHLIGHT OF YOUR MORNING


    IS WHEN YOU CHECK THE MAIL
    YOU EAT THE EARLYBIRD SPECIAL
    CAUSE YOU DON’T DRIVE AT NIGHT
    AND ABOUT THE HAIR, ITS NOT GRAY
    IT’S JUST GOTTEN LIGHT.

    YOU’RE UP ALL HOURS OF THE NIGHT


    YOU’VE BEEN TOLD THAT YOU SNORE
    AND WHEN FRIENDS ASK HOW YOU’RE DOING
    YOU LET THEM KNOW THE SCORE.

    SO, TOMORROW IF YOU WAKE UP


    WITH THE PAIN YOU JUST CAN’T BEAR
    LIFT IT UP TO GOD ABOVE
    AND SAY THIS HUMBLE PRAYER.
    LORD HEAL MY ACHING BODY
    HELP MY FEEBLE MIND
    HANDLE ALL OF MY PROBLEMS
    SLOW THE HANDS OF TIME.
    DO I LOOK INTO THE MIRROR
    AND DON’T LIKE WHAT I SEE
    GIVE ME STRENGTH LORD JESUS
    TO BE EVERYTHING I CAN BE.
    REPEAT CHORUS
    LOOK ON THE BRIGHT SIDE,
    YOU’RE ON THE GREEN SIDE OF THE GRASS
    YOU’RE NOT SIX FEET UNDER
    THIS DAY IS NOT YOUR LAST
    THOUGH THERE MAYBE SENIOR MOMENTS
    CAUSE THE MEMORY’S FADING FAST
    AT LEAST YOU’RE ON THE GREEN SIDE OF THE GRASS.

    YOU’LL ONE DAY BE WITH JESUS


    AND YOUR BODY WILL BE WHOLE
    LOOK FORWARD TO TOMORROW
    DON’T WORRY ABOUT GETTING OLD.

    FELIZ NAVIDAD
    FELIZ NAVIDAD, FELIZ NAVIDAD 3X
    PROSPERO ANO Y FELICIDAD.
    FELIZ NAVIDAD, FELIZ NAVIDAD 3X
    PROSPERO ANOY FELICIDAD.
    I WANNA WISH YOU A MERRY CHRISTMAS 3X
    FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART
    - REPEAT ALL REPEATS –
