The Journey

Larry Stallings

I soon touch age 66 and am blessed with good health
I count the love of family as my eternal wealth
I can't see around the cornor of this road we all take
The conditions of the final stretch, only the Lord can make

I have never met a soul who lives completly free of regreat
Many things we would do different if only time would let
Let us all enjoy todays events as to the new begining we do march
For the land we journey to our throat will know not parch
