Thank You Mr. Senior Citizen

(Ed Waits wrote this as a song and gave it to me Saturday at the Eastern Oklahoma County Democratic picnic. I can't carry a tune in a bucket, but the message is very good, and straight from the heart. Thanks for sharing this Ed.)

Thank you Mr. Senior Citizen,
Thank you Mr. Senior Citizen.
Thank you for doing all the things that you've done.
You fought for your country back in WWII,
And if Someone needed a helping hand
They could always count on you.
So thank you Mr. Senior Citizen.

Thanks Mr. Senior Citizen
Thankd you for doing all the things that you've done.
You came through the depression when things were very bad
You worked your fingers to the bone just to keep your family fed.
But you never gave up hope
You always looked ahead.

Thank you Mr. Senior Citizen
Thank you for doing all the things that you've done.
You just kept right on working when things were very hard
But now you're finally made it
Today you're just retired.

So thank you Mr. Senior Citizen
Thank you for doing all the things that you've done.
I'll keep trying mom and dad to measure up to you.
And someday if God be willing
I'll be a Senior Citizen too.
