Today I thank God for my early arousal
for the fact at eighty-five, today,
incidentally, I can walk well
without assistive devices
Today, I thank God for Sunday sunshine,
for the ability to taste, to enjoy,
to live, love and be happy.
Today I live in the present ...
it is a gift.

Today I thank God for my early arousal
for the fact at eighty-five, today,
incidentally, I can walk well
without assistive devices
Today, I thank God for Sunday sunshine,
for the ability to taste, to enjoy,
to live, love and be happy.
Today I live in the present ...
it is a gift.
Yes, today I'm 85, October 26 and I feel great. Praise God.
