They are all about my age these days
Obituaries
Contemporaries of mine
Exequies
Phil Bennett now
Makes his final pass
I’ll catch it
Cover some more grass
Makes you think
And then makes you forget
I don’t want this
This dying
Not just yet
So keep on moving
The advice I get these days
Keep mind and body active
No lazy ways
And do what you can do
What you always did
Study the good Lord
And what he said
And pray to him each day
A day long conversation
That way you’re in good company
That way your salvation
