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
