Life

At night when I lay my head upon the pillow

I thank my God for giving me this kind of life

He has blessed me with many years of age

Most of all He has given me a wonderful wife

I think back to the years of when I was young

That was back in the height of the depression

For our supper would we get beans or potatoes

Or watered down gravy could be a concession

Although those years were lean God stood by us

Mother saw that we went to church ever Sunday

She scrubbed our ears and gave us clean clothes

We hurried home and changed so we could go play

We enjoyed those years and they brought happiness

As these Golden twilight years are bringing to us now

We recognize there have been mistakes in past years

But our faith in God will lead us up to Heaven anyhow
