The road that I walk is always ahead,
Along which its path I still gaily tread,
I know the road ahead is not too long,
Shorter than the path I have walked along.
*******************************************
Each step I take brings me to a new place,
Mainly to that place so full of fine grace,
Sometimes to where sadness is there in wait,
But that part of life is part of my fate.
*******************************************
Looking back along my long road of life,
It had more happiness than any strife,
I’ve been so lucky in the life I lead,
I feel that in all that time I’ve been freed.
*******************************************
I look at myself as a lucky man,
Enjoying my life’s never ending span.
