I sometimes sit and think
Would I want to live forever?
I wonder if I could
Would life get any better?
I have to say right now
Life has been great to me
With all it's trials and tribulations
I'm still amazed at what I see
I have a son who is great
Almost beyond words
But I'm sure a million times
Those words we have all heard
I had myself a great career
That provided me a great living
It afforded me the opportunity
To give when I feel like giving
I give in my own little way
I give to those I choose
Most of my giving
Nobody even knows
So, maybe I don't want to live forever
Dying is an experience all it's own
I guess just another phase of life
As we take our final journey home
