Never been ten and three score before
or
never been three score and ten
but when I get to that milestone
I know that for certain
I'll not be alone
It
wasn't like that in the old days
and not
when I fell into bad ways
but as you know
some people grow
and I grew
which gives me time to think
and to say thanks
not only for the age
but
for the good friends
who
helped me on the way.
