Fifty-two years you have been devoted to me
You have accepted it all, with no pay
Now our time is shorter, I begin to see
You are the one who put us where we are today.
My years on the road, making the sales
Wouldnt have happened at all
Without your care, keeping the kids between the rails
You raised them, balanced the books, never dropped the ball
Now we are both over seventy and on our way
You are still keeping us steady, making your lists
So, where do we have to go and do today?
Giving me the time to seek my inter(D ests
Marty, Stu, and our pretty Lee Ann
Seven (count them) Grand Children, top it all
Never would have happened without God and your ---plan
I know I am very lucky, to be your old man.
