We have lived a long and happy life
And seen a lot of things
There are lots of things that we could
change
If we could start over again
When we were young we tried to do
The best that we knew how
But as we grow we wonder why
We couldn’t of
thought like we do now
But then we wonder what we would change
If we could start anew
And we couldn’t think of anything
That we would really do.
We worried when our boys were sick
And hard times, we had our share
But time helps heal most everything
When you have a family that cares
We miss them now when we go down south
And we know they have lots to do
They have their work and families
Like most young people do
When we start out in the spring time
And we know we are heading home
We can hardly wait to get there
To see how our family has grown
We know they will come to visit
They don’t live far away
We get on the phone as fast as we can
We can’t wait another day
Then they bring the great –grandchildren to
see us
And we say a little prayer
We always thank the Lord above
Because we know our family cares
