Good Morning To All

Good Morning to All
By Franklin Price

Good morning to all 
To each of my friends
We're all getting older
Maybe wearing depends

Could use some control
In more ways than one
Grateful each day 
For the rise of the sun

Walking and talking
Still have thought of mind
The best things in life
Are not hard to find

Family and friends
A grandchild or two
A roof overhead
That belongs just to you

A stomach that's sated
Just not over full
Living retired
Without so much bull

Paying the bills
Before they come due
That's quite enough for me
How about you?

Be grateful each day
Thank the man up above
Once again a good morning
I'm sending with love
