Today I'm 90, dear mighty Lord
I still have tasks to be done
I'd get so much accomplished
If I lived to be 91.
I appreciate my vunerable age
A privilege granted to few
But I would rejoice with all my heart
If I could attain 92.
So many simchas I want to attend
These Happy events I want to see
To revel in the joys of others
Is it too much to ask for 93?
I'm curious by nature
And my spirits would definitely soar
If I could witness new inventions
But then I'd have to live to 94.
Forgive my wanting even more
To live is a natural drive
But it is only with God's blessing
That He will grant me 95.
I'd like to serve my fellow man
If my mind retains its tick
I'd be ecstatic if I could live
To the age of 96.
I've done my mitzvahs and followed the Book
I assume I'll go to Heaven
But I don't mind postponing the move
until I'm 97.
I know by then I won't be fast
And somtimes I'll be late
I don't mind being a statistic
Until I'm 98.
I'm not a greedy person
I'm only asking for "Time"
Another blessin, another year
And then I'd be 99.
But why stop at 99
When a century sounds so fine
So with the humblest entreaty I pray
Please make it 100, plus ONE MORE DAY. :)
