I'Ve Lived For Sixty One Years

I've lived for sixty one years in time quite a span And I reside far from where my life's journey began I have never been known as a succesful man But I want to live on for as long as I can. I no longer daydream of literary fame And mine won't live on as a remembered name I don't care if my life story will not be told But I want to live on for to grow very old. To the great gift of life I raise my glass of cheer But of the scythe of the Reaper I do live in fear But to his higher self Mr Death he is true He is an egalatarian to give him his due. I am a great coward of that fact I won't lie And it scares me to think that I too have to die And I hope to live on though I have seen many a Spring For the great gift of life is a wonderful thing.
