When I am seventy, will they cut up my meat.
tune up my ears and cushion my feet
Will they fix up my eyes and recontour my seat,
reorganize my head and make everything neat?

Or will I get a new lease, a new slant on old things,
Shed some bad habits and see what life brings?
Can I outgrow some fears and untangle the strings,
Look forward to surprises when the telephone rings?

Jann Kennedy, a classmate, added her two cents worth

or will I indulge in all that life brings
like gardens and sunshine
and cell phones that sing
in old friends who visit electronically
from homes far away, near the bay
and the sea
or shall I indulge in a wry thought or two
on how this old world is in kind of a stew
and since it's late to be saying, Shazam!
I think I'll just be glad
that I am
that I am
that I am
We're all glad
that you are
that you are
that you are, Jim
Happy Birthday
