happy to be alive

If you ask him how he's doing 

He has a ready answer 

I'm happy to be alive he says 

Accentuating the positive 


We have a regular phone call

On his Long Island return trip 

From his weekly medical treatments

Just to talk and keep in touch  


As friends for many years do

Sharing so much in common 

Always enjoying our conversation 

Looking forward to the next 


I wish I could do more to help him 

But he is more often the one assisting 

Glad to do whatever he can do

To take care of everyone else 


Now he's reached a major milestone 

Celebrating turning eighty in a few days 

And it's my turn to say how I feel

I'm happy you're alive my friend 


You're a good person

You deserve all the best 

And I hope you have many years more

Being here among us
