I rest myself and close my close my eyes

And think about how fast time flies

Right now I am old and haggard

And over the years my children have been badgered

I now live in an old age home

With no visitors, left all alone

Oh how wonderfully the years have gone by

Being a satisfied man I will now die

I have witnessed wars and victory

And talked to people who have made history

I have stumbled my way to pyramid of Giza

And went to Louvre to see the famous Monalisa

I have imagined my face on Mt Rushmore

And Irish jigged on every possible pub floor

I have deciphered the undecipherable

Soon my tales will be in every fable

Oh what a jovial man I have been

All the adventures in my life I have seen

I did woo a woman once in my life

Later on that beauty soon became my wife

We circumnavigated around the world

All are the treasure troves we unfurled

I had my first child James

And named him after the river Thames

Now that I am all old and crestfallen

He lives somewhere happily in Holland

My wife passed away during our adventures of a lifetime

But her jovial soul in my heart will forever shine

Every then and now I visit her grave

And talk to her and sometimes rave

Now I have only doctors and nurses to talk

And sometimes with my friends I go for a walk

The night fall has now come

And with my thoughts about my adventurous journey I am done

Oh! how satisfactory my life was

From a adventurous young boy I am now old with cracked jaws

Peacefully I will now go to sleep

Thinking about my past trying not to weep
