Today is my grandma's 100th birthday. Happy birthday, Grandma!
100 years- wow! She has seen a lot of change in her lifetime.
She hasn't always had an easy life, but she is the meekest person I know and does not complain;
I aspire to be like her when I grow up.
Today Dear Lord I am 90 and there's much I haven't done,
I hope Dear Lord, You'll let me live until I'm 91.
But then if I haven't finished all I want to do,
Would you let me stay awhile until I'm 92?
So many places I want to go, so very much to see,
Do You think You could manage to make it 93?
The world is changing very fast
There is much in store,
I'd like it very much to live until I'm 94.
And if by then I'm still alive,
I'd like to stay till 95.
More planes will be up in the air,
So I'd really like to stick,
And see what happens to the world when I am 96.
I know Dear Lord it's much to ask,
And it must be nice in heaven.
But I would really like to stay until I'm 97.
I know by then I won't be fast, and sometimes will be late,
But it would be so pleasant, to be around at 98.
I will have seen many things and had a wonderful time,
So, I'm sure that I'll be ready to leave at 99 . . . maybe.

She kept saying she is ready to go. Radny told her she'll live to 100 and she said she didn't want to. Then when she was 99 she said, "I didn't want to live to 100 but I'm afraid I'm going to." The closer she got to 100 the more excited she got about the day and she was in high spirits on her birthday.
