I Love to Live

Today dear Lord,I'm 80 and there's much I haven't done
So I hope dear Lord,you'll let me live until I'm 81
But by then,if I have'nt finished all I want to do
Would you please then let me stay alive until I'm 82
So many places I want to go,so very much to see
So do you think that you could manage to make it 83
The world is changing very fast,there is so much in store
I really would like very much to live to 84
And if by then I'm still alive,I'd like to stay to 85
More planes and rockets up in the air so I'd really like to stick and see what happens to the world when I turn 86
I know dear Lord,it's alot to ask,and it must be nice in heaven
But really I would like to stay until I'm 87
I know by then I won't be fast and sometimes will be late but it would be oh so pleasant to be around at 88
I will have seen so many things,and had a wonderful time
So I'm sure I'll be willing to leave at 89.......Maybe
Just one more thing I'd like to say,dear Lord,I thank you kindly
But if it is okay with you,I'd love to live past 90.
