Die a happy man

Thomas Rhett sings a song, Die a Happy Man. It's a popular love song on the country circuit.

Here are some of the words.............

If I never get to see the Northern lights
Or if I never get to see the Eiffel Tower at night...
if I never get to build my mansion in Georgia
Or drive a sports car up the coast of California
Oh, if all I got is your hand in my hand
Baby, I could die a happy man

So on the eve of my 60th birthday, I want to let you know that I can die a happy man. [not that I plan to die soon]

I have done so many things in this life. I have seen so much.

I have been to every National Park west of the Mississippi.

I have stood by the ocean and listened to the waves.... in fact I can do that any day now.

I have owned beautiful homes.

I have birthed and raised wonderful children.

I have snow skied at 20 different resorts.

I have made the beer circuit at Epcot Center.

I got to be a part of some great churches.

I played softball with great guys for 15 years.

I ran, I jumped, I caught, I dropped, and we all laughed.

I have learned some jokes.  lots of really good jokes!!!

I have enjoyed working.  

I have made homes more beautiful.  I have painted, tiled, and fixed them.

I have been to Canada, Mexico, Israel, Turkey, Greece and Aruba.

I have driven a sports car on the coast of California.

I have basked in the Redwood forest.

I have had the best friends that anyone could ask for.

But most of all I can say this to you.... I can die a happy man, because in this life, I have loved and been loved.  It doesn't get any better than that.

It's a beautiful day in God's world, be sure to see the good.
