As I walk along this trodden path,
which I've walked on many times.
I think about the things I've done,
which I've written about in rhymes.
When I think about years gone by,
and what I'd still just like to do.
I pray to our Lord above,
to grant these things that I pursue.
I may not be as erect anymore,
or walk as fast as I once could.
I think about the times I had
and the ground where I once stood.
I still love to walk along,
that path, my life long trail.
I might have lost my youth
and my body might be frail.
But I keep adding to my story,
another chapter to proclaim.
For everything I'm doing now,
I don't do it for acclaim.
For I've paid my life long dues,
and now its time to play.
Just so long as I remember
to thank God when I pray. |
