I'll be eighty five, when spring arrives And, with luck, I do survive; So, thank you, thank you, thank you Lord. Gosh! It's great to be alive...superb

THE FIFTH AND LAST PART: On this Poem Hunter poem site poets oft give 10´s for the voting and rating and I give you milliard of 10´s dear Joseph.since you deserve the most. Writing is perpetually my greatest business but I also give lectures to students and since 1992, due to my beloved Mum, I got the certificate for an evangelist. GOD loves YOU, Joseph. With the best regards from Sylvia Frances Chan from The Netherlands, West-Europe.

I haven´t finished my comment and compliments upon you, dear Joseph, since I know you from the late Poetfreak. So happy to see that at the age of 85 you still write such a marvelous poem and such keen words about your health and wealth of being, I must tell you here, this is God´s Most Abundant Blessings that you still create such updated poems, instead of complaining, you create this beautiful poem being grateful to the Lord.
