The Centenarian

Last Thursday he celebrated his one hundred birthday
The Seasons and years have left him looking gray
His better days to the forever long gone
But the will it is in him to keep living on
His great great grandchildren are teenagers and Melinda his wife
Died two decades ago she was the great love of his life
To the rare centenarians he is one who belong
And for one of his years he looks healthy and strong
That the will to live in the age surely not a lie
In his two bedroom home by the ocean he will live till he die
With his aging jack russell terrier his only companion he lives on his own
And like many the good and the tough times of life he has known
It has been many Seasons since he was in his life's prime
Three score and ten years ago that's a long time.
