WHEN I AM GONE

Three score years and ten

is the time allocated to men

I am now well into sixty nine

so soon will be living on borrowed time

I have lived a varied and very full life

with my talented sons and a gifted wife

I have no reason to be down or sad

life really has not been that bad

Ther have been its ups and downs

what I have down has raised a few frowns

Mistakes I have made quite a few

but I start again as good as new

Throughout this life I have done my best

so when you lay me down to rest

Remember the good times and be glad

you had only one husband and one dad
