If ever I turn 100
I shall look back on my century
How I outlived all the people
Who thought they would outlive me
Much will be forgotten
Yet I\'ll be envious of the times
The few I will remember
Simply because they\'ve been mine
If ever I turn 100
The year shall be \'72
Counting the days until I die
For there won\'t be much more to do
If ever I turn 100
And can see the other side
I\'ll say \"Hello\" to my family
And goodbye to the tears that I\'ve cried
Because no more tears in Heaven
Mimicking lyrics that I\'ve heard before
If ever I turn 100
And knock on Heaven\'s door
A movie may not be based on my life
Nor a song written or penned
But if ever I live to 100
I shall see you again and again
For if after the day I turn 100
And there won\'t be another to see
I\'ll read all of Heaven this poem
So they\'ll be impressed by me
