There
once was a man known to us all.
Who was long lived in spite of a fall.
Through long years, trials, and trouble a bunch.
He kept on going by never missing breakfast, supper or lunch.
He was always able
to offer a happy greeting.
By the mere fact that he never missed a feeding.
The secret of long life, he knew.
"Keep doing what you always do."
Each morning get up,
put one shoe on then the other.
Stand up, take a step, then go a little further.
Each day is a gift to share,
But to see it, you first have to be there.
