When I think of places where I've been
and things that I have done-
I recall many battles fought-
and those I've lost, and won.
I've met a lot of people-
on my stops along the way-
and remember a lot of faces-
But many names, have gone astray.
Friends have even asked me,
"why don't you retire?"
I answer very simply,
"I'm not ready to expire!
