Well another year over,
Another year of living,
Living in this world.
I arrived seventy eight years ago,
Seventy eight years ago today.
In my life I have seen many things
And looking back bad things happened,
But they are all overcome by the good things,
The good and wonderful things,
Those wonderful things in my life.
I worked all my life,
All forty seven years and one month
And in that time never out of work.
I have enjoyed a fine marriage,
Married to Joyce.
We had wonderful times together,
She passed into heaven,
Passed seven years ago.
But my life became blessed,
Blessed after a few years
When it happened
And Mary came into my life.
Now together we live,
Live for our future together.
So here I am looking forward,
Looking forward to another year,
Another year in my long life.
