I like the number 75
So we are going to celebrate it
Going to visit Margaret’s grave
Put some flowers there
Then off with us to a lovely pub
Fish and chips lovely grub
A pint of ale all square
My grandsons are great talkers now
We won’t be lost for words
Michael and Holly in the midst of life
House and home boys to school
Extending the premises
Keeping cool
Working morn till night
And my life now?
What I’ve always done
Worked with words
See how they run
Try to preach mediate
Listen to others
Meditate
Nothing now for me to do
All is found
I’ve seen it through
There just remains
The daily task
That all of us are always asked
Use your gift of mind and heart
To find the words that make us start
To live with simple joy and love
And daily serve the Lord above
