I know I’m dying, we all are, that’s life’s game, But mine’s sped up by cancer, it’s not the same. Don’t worry, Liz, everything’s gonna be alright, See, I’ll be here ‘til I’m 85, or until my last goodnight. Set your worry shackles free, believe in what’s to be, A future bright and hopeful, just you and me. We’ll light the sky with vibes, full of love and fluffy things, No cash...

I've got

I God always wins the wager if we live long on earth... and even if we don't. II Some questions die with questioners; even if God heard the questioning daily (for 90 years) III If Jesus died for the sins of those born after 2000, will more from India and China be in heaven? Will whites be a minority in...

On his 100th birthday celebration surrounded by his family… he was asked, ‘what is the secret to your longevity?’ He was silent for a moment…they thought, perhaps, he was too weak… “First of all,” he finally smiled, “I like to think before I speak.” “How I’ve lived to be 100…well, that’s anybody’s guess… perhaps the best answer I can give...

Another sweet note from the A.A.R.P. Seems those folks want to insure me I’m worth only the most limited liability But eligible for their lowest monthly fee They say there is a lifetime guarantee I wouldn’t be around to check and see If they had looked up my family tree They’d know I have plenty of longevity So I’m passing them up on...

Have I been given longevity for a special reason? Is there something this old man still must do? Or, am I the product of good ancestry and genes? When I discover the answer, I’ll share it with...
