Peace and love to those who know
With age their insight surely grows
The things that use to matter much
Have lessened with a timely touch
The things I used to hold so dear
Did cause me toil and grief and fear
I strove for wealth and gain for not
My precious Savior I forgot
My friends & family never close
The Devil was an active host
With casualties on every side
Death and Destruction they all cried
And when my life was at its end
I asked forgiveness for my sins
And yet my life was not a waste
Although I lived it with much haste
I learned my lesson in the end
Jesus can wash away my sins
So live your life, the best you can
Whether a woman or a man
The promise is three score & ten
So smell the roses now and then
For if the Savior is your friend
Remember in the end you’ll win.
