Turning 60
I woke up this morning
And 60 was staring in my face
I wondered out loud
Can I continue on with grace
I have lines and scars
To prove all those 60 years
So many, many memories
With happy and sad tears
I have had three kids
Losing one, that God took
I must say, living through that
Gave my heart a raw look
He's showed me that life
Should not be taken at ease
To always be kind to others
And to never be mean or tease
I found out what God had
In store for me, to this date
He gave me a sweet little dog
And has given me my soul mate
So whatever time I have left
I'll take them all in stride
Living each day to the fullest
And I'll have God by my side
