This Opportunity
 
 

The more I am grateful for
What comes to me the more
Comes to be for me somehow
More grateful than before
I who see more gratefully
When I remember how
Then was not as good as now

Now I appreciate
The fragility of my
Position vis a vis
What may be destiny or
The anyway of fate
Or whatever it may be

For now and not for then
For the ever after of
A life to give for love
I will live until I die
Grateful for having been
And for having been given
This opportunity

I enjoy the way you look at life. "I will live until I die." Nothing can be said simpler.

And what an opportunity you had! Not many can say they were there when Disneyland opened!
