Anonymous Writing about Age

Well, I'm not QUITE 80 yet, although 72 is mighty close!!!, but wanted to share this cute and I'm finding so true writing.

Today, dear Lord, I'm 80,

There's much I haven't done.

I hope, deal Lord you'll let me live

until I'm 81.

By then, if I haven't finished

all that I want to do,

Would you let me stay awhile

Until I'm 82?

So many places I want to go,

So very much to see,

Do you think that you could manage,

To make it 83?

The world is changing very fast,

There is so much in Store,

I'd like it very much to live,

Until I'm 84.

And if by then I'm still alive,

I'd like to stay, till I'm 85.

More planes will be up in the air,

So I'd really like to stick,

And see what happens to the world,

Until I am 86.

I know, dear Lord, it's much to ask,

and it must be nice in Heaven,

But I would really like to stay,

Until I'm 87.

I know by then, I won't be fast,

And Sometimes may be late,

But it would be nice to be around,

Until I'm 88.

I will have seen so many things,

and had such a wonderful time,

I'm sure that I'll be willing,

to leave at 89.

MAYBE!!!!

My personal addition to this: There is so little time and yet so much to accomplish. I am thankful for my health, the ability, and the desire to serve Him.
