Best My Cup Runneth Over Poems
The Lord is my shepherd, no want shall I know;
I lie in green pastures, by still waters go;
My soul is restored and the right paths He shows--
My cup runneth over with joy.
Though I may walk through death’s shadowy night,
His rod and His staff comfort me in my fright;
My table is set in my enemies’ sight--
My cup runneth over with joy.
My head is anointed with oil, and I’ll see
His goodness and mercy each day follow me;
In God’s house forever I’ll dwell and be free--
My cup runneth over with joy.
These words written to “My Cup Runneth Over.”
My cup runneth over at age seventy-eight
Will it ever slow down to give me a break
Thought ahead when I was a younger man
Love in my seventies was not in the plan
However in my mind I'm as active as ever
Always can be found searching for pleasure
Pleasures we dream from a very young age
Like a male of the species locked in a cage
Wanting so badly to explore the landscape
All too soon our manly prowess escapes
We resign to the fact our bodies can't perform
As when our youthful stamina was norm
Minds are still active as they were back then
But the body's changed, takes longer to ascend
It's all part of life, this unparalleled journey
But we manage to survive all the topsy-turvy

MY CUP RUNNETH OVER
My cup runneth over now in my eighties
Will it ever slow this love for the ladies
Thought ahead when I was a younger man
Love in my eighties was not in the plan
However in my mind I'm as active as ever
Always can be found searching for pleasure
Pleasures we dream from a very young age
Like a male of the species locked in a cage
Wanting so badly to explore the landscape
All too soon our manly prowess escapes
We resign to the fact our bodies can't perform
As when our youthful stamina was norm
Minds are still active as they were back then
But the body's changed, takes longer to ascend
It's all part of life, this unparalleled journey
But we manage to survive all the topsy-turvy
fragile
dainty
a survivor
lithe
light
lovely
she peeks above the grasses
showing her loveliness
an orchid!
I am in love
purple too
my cup runneth over
I gain everything
