100 Healthy Years

It was some years ago
Exactly how many, I do not know
But I would venture to guess
It was 25 years, no less

To my Lord I made a request
That he would allow this quest
There were many places to go
There were many people to meet
So many more things to write about
A myriad of questions to conceive
Multitudes of answers to receive

I humbly desired of him 100 years of
Life upon this earth before my demise
He alone knows and sees all my days
And he alone determines all my steps.
