"In all these ninety years I have been around.
Many kinds of changes I have found.
Some for the better and some, not so good.
I've tried to accept them the best I could.
I have had many blessings which have kept my faith strong.
With my trust in my saviour to guide me along.
Now when He calls me and says, Well done.
May I enter in Peace in my heavenly Home."

Whenh I arrived here, which made me number four.

For they went to work early and worked very late.
We lived pretty well, we didn';t need much money.
For the cow's gave us milk and the bee's made the honey.
