"i'Ve Lived a Good Life, I'Ve Lived a Good Day"

Give me a day, blue skies and sunlight!
Give me a night, with clear stars so bright!
Give me a garden, rich soil to hoe.
Where I can see flowers and vegetables grow!
Give me a drink when I'm in great thirst!
Give me a child, with healthy new birth!
Give me a song, that touches my heart.
Give me a "love", that never shall part!
Give me a world, where all wars would cease!
A world full of "love", a world full of "peace!"
Then, I can say....
" I've lived a good life, I've lived a good day!"
Amen:
