A good long road you've travelled

And much of life have seen,
Great cares and many sorrows, 100.
With joys mixed in between.
A very busy life was yours
While passing on this way,
And still we know it stays with you'
From what we see today.
So bright and active for your years,
That with our every tongue
We all can say quite truthtully
You now are sure just ~ years
young.
Your "milestones' say four scores
By reason of strength given,
Yet still we hope for many more
Before does come the even.
And when that time is fully here
And sounds that welcome call:
ut is enough come home, my
From Him who died for all
Twill be sure and great reward
To enter into rest,
And dwell forever with the Lord
And all the faithful blest.
All gathered here with you today,
Congratulations give,
With wishes best from every heart,
While on earth you live.
