Over Sixty Years
By God's grace*, my child-like faith still prevails
weathering aging trials I can't miss
amidst triumphant smile of glowing face...
...grateful to greet each day with praise-filled zest~~~.
...mindful of nutrition and healthy ways
while reaching-out from loving heart's abyss
prayerfully ready against death wails.
*1 Corinthians 15:10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
