In the joy of aging are crowns of yesteryear
In the memory of many loves that joined
In the times and places of festivities and fun

In the career changes that came with authority
In the gracing freedoms time and place unify
In the advancing mentality cruising to tunes
In the harmony of happiness of the unknown
In the funny chatter old from youthful critique
In the knowledge and wisdom of peace sublime
In the joy of aging are crowns of yesteryear

I wake each morning and bless the light...
Embrace the joy of breathing in the fresh air.
The long journey of days continues...
