I STILL LIVE THE DREAM LIFE
I still live the dream life
One of love and complete life harmony
A world of people has been good to me
Thank you world
Born in the freest of nations
I have been educated and employed well
Thank you United States of America
Most of my life has been lived in Georgia
And it and I have grown together to maturity
Thank you State of Georgia
Assignments have taken me over our world
No office holder or diplomat has enjoyed travel more
Thank you instructors in life away from home
My marriage of over six decades was of dream proportions
She and I became parents of four admirable young persons
Thank you Trulie, Carolyn, Bob, Mary, and Nancy
Three careers rewarded me with employers and friends
They overlooked shortcomings and helped create quality growth
Thank you Army Chambers of Commerce and Real Estate
I still live the dream life
My children make life worthy and filled with beloved grandchildren
Thank you Those Keeping Me Young Enough to Do Things That Last
