Many have told me
That I’ve lived a full life
And I have
I have been blessed
With 74 years of living
Loving and Grieving
Learning and Growing
Winning and Losing
Writing and Rhyming
Drumming and Singing
Leading and Following
I was alive and I was free
(I still am)
Nothing could stop me
(It still can’t)
I’ve been challenged and defeated
I’ve won and I’ve lost
Through it all I kept going
I have learned
I’ve forgotten
I’ve known success
I’ve known failure
I have loved and been loved
And that, my friends, is why
I am forever young
