Aging Gracefully

Age loved with tenderness and care

Good days to be appreciated

If you were younger what would your goals be

Never feeling sorry for yourself simply enduring

Gracing the good Lord's will, the ten commandments


Give with kindness to those who are in need

Real drama and endurance saved for each day

Action, fresh air walks each day

Command your own life with excellence

Excellence socially with respect

Fulfilling lifestyle with relatives and friends

University friendshio and classes remembered

Love in the future as God commands

Living day by day with appreciation

Yesterdays good memories stay
